Tomato is pretty popular in a sauce form, not a fan of the fruit myself though.
In seriousness, I could see pear being good. Pears on a grilled cheese sandwich is fantastic.

Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:
- fresh mozzarella
- shaved pear
- caramelized onions
- hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
- pistachios
They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.
It's damn fine.
I've seen thin slices of apple or pear with something like goat cheese.
Figs are amazing.
Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.
...tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini...
artichoke
Fig with prosciutto
Fig and Pig is a great combo for pizza!
Olives
Peppers.
Pear works well on white pizza
Apples work well on white pizza as well. Perhaps OP only tried with red sauce, which I imagine wouldn't be very good.
But indeed there's a local pizza place around where I live that does a simple olive oil base topped with creamy cheese, tart apples, arugula, and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It's utterly fantastic
Possibly with walnuts and blue cheese.
BBQed Jackfruit
Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled "pork", it'd be great on a BBQ pizza.
As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.
What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.
I think it's great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.
I don't think it's a marketing ploy, it's just not explained in great detail on the can where exactly it comes from. It's not like anyone could possibly benefit from people not knowing what jackfruit is.
Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that's next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don't sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn't mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it's not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.
I still think it's strange that the seeds aren't also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.
It's only popular (afaik) in America as a meat substitute, not because it's "fruit." Vegetarians don't care what part of the fruit it comes from as long as it's serving its purpose, and I can't imagine anyone being upset when they find out there's a sweet part to it too. I guess the word "ploy" just implies, like, a conspiracy or something to me and I can't imagine who would perpetrate something so banal. Can't be the jackfruit producers/distributors, they could only benefit from more people knowing more about their product.
Never saw one in a store tnh. No clue how they taste

I had Hawaiian with kiwi! It was good
They call it a Pizza New Zealand at my local pizza place, and it's pretty good!
Sounds intriguing
Black Olives (or green, either way).
Try kalamatas.
Need to go look that up. No id what that is
Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ's sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.
My local favorite is apple slices+bacon, it's the best.

Banana is a common topping in Sweden. Add some curry and peanuts while you're at it.

Pear, gorgonzola and arugula. It was delicious. I ate the whole thing and now I'm ashamed of myself.
On of my local pizzerias has one with apple and it's actually one of my favorite!
But my number one is the "indian", which is basically chicken, curry, pineapple and raisin
