These are some weird toppings. I mean, anchovies? Hot dogs? French fries? Artichokes? How are those considered authentic pizza toppings as opposed to something like pineapple?

Anchovies and artichokes I get. those seem standard enough to me (especially anchovies - those are super common in much of the world).

But hot dogs and french fries... ew. 🤢

(Although I suppose it's not that much different than some of the things we in North America come up with and call "Chinese" food.)
