I wonder if they use; Banana : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana

Cavendish Banana : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_banana

Or Plantains a.k.a. (Cooking Banana) : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_banana

Pineapple : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple

EDIT: Add; Pineapple and Cavendish banana

It's sweet banana, not plantain. "Kebab" is also a popular (if less weird) topping option.

Incidentally, a lot of the pizza places here do really quite terrible quality pizza - I think because the pizza is more the pretext for selling alcohol (liquor laws are quite strict).

Arrr. That make sense now. Thanks

Agree. The typical pizza here is actually one of the worst things about Sweden. And the tradition of the "pizza salad" is the cherry on top, in a bad sense, so to speak. https://blogs.transparent.com/swedish/the-mysterious-swedish...

Wow! “Pizzasallad”

I'm surprised the Cabbage and Red Pepper (Swedish “Pizzasallad”) are not pickled like Sauerkraut or Kimchi.

Note! Edited to add ref:urls

I agree, although my wife adores pizzasallad. Meanwhile do not get me started about "bearnaisesås"

This took me some time to find 'bearnaisesås' entries in english, and I also had to sate my hunger ; )
