The foundation of pizza is so simple, nearly every society has some version of flat bread with cheese and sauce. But it’s when you move into the pizza toppings territory that things can get a little crazy. From crocodile pizzas to prawn-topped cookie dough crusts, different cultures make do with what they’ve got.

Alicia Hahn excels at eating and enjoys writing, crosswords, and cooking (preferably with cheese). Originally from San Francisco, she moved to Boston for school and fell in love with the city (despite an annual campaign against winter). Her favorite place to be is the farmers’ market, where she finds weird and exciting ingredients to make or break her next meal.
