My issue is that not one pizzaria that I’ve found does anchovies the proper way. They just stick an entire fillet on each slice of pizza. Anchovies are a garnish, not a main event. They need to chop the fillets into smaller pieces and distribute evenly the same as they do with olives.
Chop a couple up until they are paste and put a teaspoon of that into 8 cups of whatever sauce you are making and watch people rave about needing to know your secret ingredient, and then totally disbelieve you when you tell them.
You’re right. Places like Papa John’s put the whole fillet on. Which I actually do love. Cuts through the sweetness of the sauce. But it isn’t good pizza by any means.
There’s a few places in NYC that do it right. My favorite is this Italian pizza place that has red and white pizzas.
Unpopular Opinion, Sardines on Pizza are better than Mushrooms on Pizza
I like anchovies. Sometimes they’re too salty, but that’s perfect after a night of drinking
