AFAIK, there are many countries that have pizza with ingredients considered unusual outside that country. For example, in Brazil they have chocolate pizza.
Pizza with Nutella/pistacchio cream is actually a relatively common dessert in pizza places in Italy...

Pizza Hut in the US used to have dessert pizzas. It was a thin pie covered in a compote/jam with a little poweded sugar on it. It was about as meh as it sounds.
The cinnamon apple one I remember being alright. Granted that was 20+ years ago, so all pizza tasted good when I was still a teenager

True
If you're not sure about this, start small. Try a spinach salad tossed with nuts like walnuts or pecans and sliced strawberries and a sweet balsamic with a little grated romano. Seriously, give it a go, it's healthy and tastes amazing.
Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet. But we then add heaps of sugar to tomato sauce to make it sweet. Fruit like strawberry is already sweetened, it makes perfect sense on paper.
What's throwing everyone is that our first experiences with sweet fruit flavors is always candy or pastries and we have a hard time shaking that association as strictly appropriate.
Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet.
Shitty supermarket tomatoes aren't sweet. Homegrown tomatoes can be very sweet and very delicious.

That's not even remotely the worst way we've bastardized italian pizza.
Also, we could dive deeper and talk about italian food before tomatoes were introduced, but I don't think Americans are ready for that yet.
Someone tell me more about pasta with strawberries please. I say this as a pineapple on pizza aficionado.
it's really nice! you get some short pasta, usually the tube or the swirly type, then add either plain yoghurt or cottage cheese, then sliced strawberries, of course, and sugar to taste :)
can be served either hot or cold!
Aha, so it's treating the pasta as one would a fruit filled pierogi or crepe. Just a wheaty medium for delivery of fruity goodness.
