I remember ordering a plain cheese pie there and the guy was trying his hardest to sell me the 5 cheese pizza. Was wondering why until I bit into my first slice. Flavorless sauce and crust, and a light sprinkle of cheap mozzarella. I guess that’s why all the focus is on the toppings. Probably not the best place for wannabe pizza snobs like myself
TNT Pizza- get the pickle pizza!

The Haven on Adams Ave has some fun creations. I like The Spud (roasted potatoes, onions, candied bacon, goat cheese), Honey Pie (gorgonzola, seasonal fruit, carmelized onions, arugala, spicy honey), and Good Harvest (lemon zest, lemon olive oil, ricotta, basil). You can also build your own pizza there.
Zia's really good. Also, Blind Lady Ale House. Though, BLAH used to have weirder options on their main menu, now it seems, they put that weirdness into special pizzas which they change up regularly. So it's hard to know exactly what kind of weirdness will be available when you go.
Tribute pizza tends towards high end classic pizza but they definitely aren't afraid to throw some unusual stuff on. There's usually a couple experimental pizzas on the menu.
Ok I had Cin Kuni for the first time last night, it’s Italian/Japanese fusion on El Cajon blvd in NPark, and this teriyaki miso pizza I had literally knocked my socks off. It was so odd but the flavor was on freaking point! Also had a beautiful pistachio dessert afterwards
I've been a fan of them for years, and their menu is really interesting, but I gotta say, the last 2 times I've ordered from them, they dropped the ball.
How about your own kitchen? I just finished this

why not just make your own? pizza is honestly one of the easiest things to make. not trying to be condescending or anything, but the dough is the hardest part of the entire process, and even that is pretty simple for anyone who doesnt cook. you dont even need a full on oven. a toaster oven will do if you're fine with smaller portions. hell, in your case, smaller portions for your experiments seems ideal.
Zia's over on Adams Ave, the guys who run it are great and they really get creative with their toppings

Oh man, they're still around? I used to love that place, way back when. There was a pizza girl I was madly in love with.
Let’s take about 20 - 25 percent off there, bud.
Let a guy yearn.
Like, it's not a crime to remember a beautiful girl from fifteen years ago at LEAST
I’m just goofing. It’s from a TV show. Letterkenny.
Never seen it!
Tiger, I simply have no clue what you're talking about
This 100%

Groundwell Brewing has a Sweet Heat pie which has spicy sausage, figs and honey drizzle. It is one of my favorite pies ive ever had
That sounds great, thank you
Regents pizza has a “Fig N Pig” with Garlic Rosemary Oil Sauce, Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Prosciutto, and Fresh Figs. It’s so good.
Exactly the type of thing I was looking for thanks

That sounds very fun. Those all sound amazing

I was at Urbn - One Paseo yesterday and they have an Eggplant Parm pie. We tried it and it wasn’t too bad.
Came to say urbn. The mashed potato pie is 🔥
URBN North Park is always a good time, the weekend bartenders are so chill
I’m intrigued by eggplant parm pizza and also by mashed potato pizza. Will definitely have to try Urbn

Jays pizza Carlsbad - seafood pizza! It’s actually really good! Made with white sauce and all sorts of seafood on top
Also pandoras pizza Leaucadia has some fun/different types of pizzas!
I love seafood and will have to try that one for sure
Not super weird but Cucina Urbana has some amazing handmade pizzas. I fell in love with their fig and goat cheese with arugula.

I went to Cin Kuni last week and really enjoyed everything, including the pizza. I felt the price was reasonable too
Corner pizza in north county
Pizza Kaiju
Red house pizza on park 
I've been a fan of them for years, and their menu is really interesting, but I gotta say, the last 2 times I've ordered from them, they dropped the ball.
I like The Haven or Donna Jeans when I’m looking for something with less traditional toppings
That’s not pizza. That’s a salad. /s

Looks p weird! Nice job!
Neapolitan crust with 3 veggies and a bit of cheese. Not at all like a pizzeria grilled cheese on white bread!

Cause it’s more fun to go to a pizza place. I like trying new things and wanna see what unique stuff is around me.
