It’s weird. I’m at an age where I wouldn’t mind to try out anchovies on pizza, but it’s become so out-of-style that either pizza places don’t carry it any more, or people are so repulsed by it that it’s hard to order with others sharing.
Meanwhile, I’ve always loved pineapple on pizza, and that one seemed to have stuck around as a topping longer.
Anchovies work. Try with just tomato sauce and cheese, onions and olives. It’s a complex, mature type of taste. Maybe sun dried tomatoes. But it depends a lot on who’s cooking it if you know what I mean.
You know how kids all go crazy about candy? That’s because of how their taste buds work when they’re kids. When you get older, these funky tastes get more like candy to us. Very rich flavors.

Anchovies on pizza are fantastic, especially in some Italian thin crust, say with black olives, onions, capers, artichoke…
The problem is that people use them as an ingredient, where they should be used as a seasoning, sparingly.
