What are your favorites? Partner and I made a cheese/onion/garlic pizza a few days ago with a garlic parm sauce base, and damn it came out good. The dough we used had some ricotta in it and was double proofed so im sure that helped too.

    Another one that'll definitely raise some eyebrows, but i swear it's good and it requires some analysis of australian takeaway history and operation:

    Mango Chutney

    Hear me out
    Various forms of take away/delivery food in aus-delenda-est are not strictly (stereotypically) owned or operated by the diaspora that brought the cuisine to australia, but has been absorbed by other groups as their migration wave established themselves and had the capacity to take over old or collapsed businesses. One big example is that Fish & Chip Shops were stereotypically the realm of Greek families for decades (but this seems to have turned towards Vietnamese families in the last 10-20 years).
    The one relevant to suburban Pizza shops is that many wound up owned or operated by Indian or Turkish families, with Italian families seeming to only retain footholds in certain areas or otherwise have their australian-born generations pivot to fancier, more expensive wood-fired pizzas or ride the Neapolitan-style wave.

    CW: meat mention

    Thus, god's gift was bestowed to us: the Tandoori Chicken Pizza - Chutney base (or tomato base with chutney on top), marinated Tandoori chicken, red onions, often some spinach, mozz and a drizzle of yoghurt

      If it were on naan it'd just be a straight up Indian dish (in Rajasthan they have their own version of stretch cheese, mozzarella isn't unique to Italy)

        hell yeah, i figured it was just a good naan combo transplanted onto a pizza pan

        i bet it would have heaps of green chilli too
