Does corn on-the-cob go with pizza?

lmao no. if you want vegetables, a salad is a good side for pizza. That’s it.

At this time of year, corn on the cob goes with everything in our house!

I really think it depends on the context. I agree with eating as much summer corn as possible. So if I have delicious corn and my own kids are clamoring for pizza or I don’t want to cook and all I have is a frozen pizza? Yeah sure.

If I had delicious corn and I was planning guests then I would plan another entree.

No. And pizza doesn’t need a side.

Where’s green bean lady?

I would serve fresh raw veggies with dip or a fruit bowl for dessert. Corn would be an odd side to serve guests, but if it’s what works for your family, go for it.

Pizza and salad it's pretty simple.

I'm in this camp. But it is a bit of a strange side for pizza.

We did this recently as we had amazing farmers market corn left in the fridge the day before a vacation but not much other food left. It was fine!

I wouldn't do it for a sit down formal dinner party.

No, but I consider pizza a stand-alone meal. If I wanted a side I’d make a salad, but I like lots of veggies on my pizza so I don’t consider it necessary.

Um, no. Weird to even ask.

This is exactly right.

In some countries corn is a common topping on pizza. Like Korea and UK.

If you make a grilled corn salad, yes.

Corn on cob is never a good idea. Terrible for teeth.

I tried the combo once out of 100% sheer curiosity. It wasn’t bad. The pizza was homemade thin crust loaded with vegetables and an herby sauce. The corn added a nice balance of sweetness and crunch. I didn’t butter the corn (I never do). Just ate it plain and cooked.
