Diner divides opinion after putting banana on pizza - and it has a strange base too

What's your favourite pizza topping? Whether it's chicken and peppers, pepperoni, or a meat feast, there are certainly some toppings that are more controversial than others - such as pineapple.

The debate still rages on to this day about whether the fruit belongs on pizza, but one US diner has taken fruity toppings to the next level by putting banana on a pizza - and people are seriously divided about it.

The quirky pizza not only has banana all over the top of it, but it also boasts an unconventional base and drizzle. Rather than the usual tomato base, the sweet pizza has peanut butter all over the bottom of it, and honey drizzled on it too.

Roscoe's Pizza in the sleepy village of Corwin, near Cincinnati, Ohio, US, claims it is one of its bestsellers despite its questionable combination.

What really makes this pizza super bizarre is that it has more conventional toppings on it too - it contains cheese and bacon as well. So that's peanut butter, cheese, banana, and bacon...

The unique combination is called 'The Elvis' – having been inspired by the King of Rock and Roll's odd food cravings. Elvis is said to have enjoyed peanut butter, bacon, and banana sandwiches.

If you're in the area and fancy giving it a go, it costs $9.99 (£8.05) for an 8-inch and up to $27.99 (£22.56) for a 16-inch.

But customers are divided on the mix of ingredients, with one asking: "Was this made by a pregnant woman?"

"That's a weird combination", someone else added, and another wrote: "This made me cry and I like pineapple on pizza."

Some pizza lovers were bold enough to claim that they'd "try it" though, with some saying they'd need to remove the bacon as that was one step too far.
