I tried olives on my Pizza Hut pizza last month and
it tasted really weird. It made the entire pizza taste
sour as if there were something wrong with it.
Have you ever gotten a bad topping on your pizza?
Do you eat olives on your pizza?

I guess if you don't like olives it might give pizza a taste you dislike, but I love black olives on my pizza. Onions, pineapples, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, OLIVES, tomatoes, and most veggies I love on pizza, but my most favorite pizza tends to be plain cheese. Once in awhile I like toppings, but usually simple pizza tastes best! [Bethany1202]
I had olives about a week after the incident on another pizza. And it was a truly delightful experience. I believe that the olives were just bad. Sometimes fruits and veggies do go bad. These things happen. Thanks for being first to respond. [beautyqueen26]
I like black olives on my pizza, but if they were ever sour, I'd have to assume they had gone bad. Did you tell the pizza place about it? [jerzgirl]
I like black olives on my pizza. It might just be the brand of olives. I have tasted some canned olives that I did not like before. If it tasted sour then maybe the olives were going bad and they used them anyway. [lilybug]
I love black olives. They have a really rich taste to me. I eat them in eggs and on pizza and in lots of other settings. [GardenGerty]
I don't like olives on my pizza either. I assume it is becasue they have so much liquid in them that the juices run throughout the pizza when they get hot. I always order them on the side for the exact reason you are talking about. I like olives but I don't want my entire pizza to taste like them!lol [fasttalker]
Hi FASTTALKER. I also do not like olives... period. Hahaha. When you put olives on anything that you cook, the whole thing starts to taste like olives. I also do not like how it feels inside my mouth. And lastly I don't like its after taste. [russso]
That's never happened to me, but I have to be in the right mood for olives on my pizza. I don't normally put them on mine. If I order a veggie lover from a pizza place then I won't ask for them to be taken off, but normally we make pizza at home so I decide the toppings, and I don't think I've ever put olives on it. [katsmeow1213]
Me too, I have to be in an olive mood. [makingpots]
I tried olives for the first time a few years ago, and while I like them, I've stopped using them on my subs. I can't say that I haven't ever eaten them on a pizza, but I'm a cheese or pepperoni woman myself. lol. I think that if an olive isn't fresh it probably has a bad taste to it. [SomeCowgirl]
My daughter loves pepperoni on her pizza so when we order, that's all we get and everyone has some. For me, I would prefer to pile on the toppings. I don't get pizza that often so it's nice to indulge in as many flavors as possible. Usually I go for the Super Supreme. But of course, that is over kill. LOL! [beautyqueen26]
Hello beautyqueen26 , I personnaly do not like olives on any food but when I order something and it comes with olives I give them to my b/f since he loves olives. I think they taste salty and have a slimy texture. It is not a topping I would want on my pizza. [ds6413]
I have had olives on my pizza but I have to have them with sausage or I don't like them with any other combination...like I have to have canadian bacon with pineapple...or I don't like it...I can't say I have had bad toppings.....and there are very few I don't like. [jillhill]
Hello! Nope !! I love olives on my pizza but it does depend on what other toppings you have on your pizza. Usually, I only have olives on my pizza when we order the special from round table pizza. It's so good with everything else. It's weird how your pizza tasted sour because olives aren't usually sour. Maybe it was the pizza sauce that made it sour but depends also on where you bought the pizza from. lol. [usaflove08]
i have no idea since i don't think i've ever had a pizza with olives on it. and if i did then i didn't notice them. they sure do good on sub sandwiches though, thats about the only time i love olives. [thestraydog23]
I only get olive on my pizza when we order a veggie or a supreme pizza. I never put them on pizza's I make at home. Olives seem more like a salad ingredient to me, sometimes on a sandwich is okay. [makingpots]
My husband loves green olives on his pizza, but I would agree that they sometimes taste strange. It is a taste that has to grow on you, just like anchovies. I still do not crave them, but I do tolerated them from time to time. [GardenGerty]
I do eat olives on my pizza, but my kids don't coz for them since they don't eat the olives, it tastes weird. Sometimes, when I'm not in the mood to eat pizza, the whole pizza would taste weird for me, but it's just because I don't have the appetite to eat it. [Nhey16]
The olives had to have been bad for your pizza to taste sour. I would've returned it and gotten my money back or had them make another pizza because that could've made you very sick. I hope it didn't but I would definitely let them know about it. I love olives on my pizza. [CatsandDogs]
they probably used canned olives.sometimes,particularily with black olives,it'll absorb the taste of the metal and taste really funky. i got some really squishy onions once,but it was probably the day's leftovers as i ordered late at night. [scarlet_woman]
Well, I don't eat olives. At all. So if they were on my pizza I would automatically think it tasted weird. There is something about one pizza I have always found off. Canadian bacon pizza. The cheese always tastes weird to me. Am I stupid and just don't know they use a different cheese? I mean it looks like mozzzerella cheese, but it doesn't taste like it when it is on a Canadian bacon pizza. [AmbiePam]
Yeah, I think the particular olives you had must have had something wrong with them. I've had olives on pizzas from Pizza Hut before and they were so good! I love olives on pizza. But, I can just about eat anything on a pizza. [desertdarlene]
I don't like olives, so except for a Scholtzkie's sandwich, they make every thing taste weird [ElicBxn]
I love black olives on my pizza, haven't had them on one for a long time. The kids always pick them off Can't say I've ever had a bad topping on a pizza, but I have had it with either much too much sauce or much too little sauce. [westernangel]
I love black olives on my pizza. But not green olives. They give it a sour taste. I don't like canadian bacon. I just can't eat it. [Ruthep]
The olive oil is one ingredients to make the pizza. One day when I ordered a pizza with olives on the top, I had to say that I didn't appreciate to its taste. Perhaps I don't get used to eat the olives. Later I will order the pizzas without olives. I love China [youless]
Were they green olives or black olives? They each have their own distinct flavors. If it were green olives, perhaps you were not mentally ready for their tartness. If they were black or green it is possible they were old. Olives can really bite back if they are too old. It's like they spoil but you can only tell by the very bitter bite they have when you taste them. [macdingolinger]
Yeah I am not an olive person at all and I can see where it made the pizza taste sour. I have had olives on a store bought pizza with olives on it and it was okay but like I said I am not really an olive person. Take care and happy mylotting to you as well. happy [momtrying2makeit]
I think it's depend of you 'Re taste in olive! ahah It's sure if you don't like the taste you will find that on a pizza it taste bad. Me, it's depend,, sometimes I like sometimes don't.. it's weird huh?happy [julie85]
I like olives, but not on pizza. some olives taste different to others though, so perhaps the ones you had there were particularly bitter. Our neighbours gave us some which were disgusting, they reminded us of goats! The one topping I really cannot stand on pizza is anchovies. They make the whole thing taste bad so I can't even eat a piece which has been next to one which has them. Yuk! [GreenMoo]
I think olives are an aquired taste and they do taste awful on a pizza. I have to pick them off if I get one with them on they are gross. I do not eat olives at all!! [gemini_rose]
I love olives on my pizza! I prefer green olives when it comes to pizza and black ones in salad :) [Slashable]
I guess they do if you don't happen to like olives! Personally i find them far too salty and would prefer not to eat them or have them as a pizza topping. The only really bad pizza toppings for me are pineapple (i hate it at the best of time let alone combind with ham!!!) and maybe something really, really spicy like hot peppes or too-spicy pepperoni. I prefer seafood pizzas anyway. [hezoid]
I can't abide olives, I'm afraid. I know they're good for you but how people can actually eat them, I don't know. They eat them like a pickle! My favourite topping for pizza is one that I chose myself and I stick with it. It's Chili Beef and Pineapple and it's always delicious. I've never had a bad topping because I avoid the things I'm not so keen on. Brightest Blessings my friend. [Darkwing]
Do you find this problem with olives in general, or just the olives on this partcular pizza? I love olives on pizza, in salads, just as little finger foods, any way imagineable, I'll eat them. My husband agrees, and loves them too. They're not for everyone, though. I think they give it a bit of a zing, but they don't generally change the entire flavour of the pizza. [danishcanadian]
