The humble pizza has to be one of the most popular foods in the world. It’s difficult to find a person who can’t appreciate the charms of its winning formula. Unfortunately, it’s also one of those meals that suffers from success: it’s so famous and so popular that certain wretched cooks can’t help but mess with its already perfect composition. 

There is a lot of crappy pizza out there, but that’s not exactly what we’re talking about. No, we’re here to think on all the examples of the pie that are such a terrible combination of flavors and cooking techniques that they should never have been brought into existence. There are a lot of them out there, and this wretched list only captures a snapshot of the crimes committed against this beautiful foodstuff. These pictures may have you begging for a slice of simple margherita, if you can even face eating pizza again.
