As any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan knows, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael are famous for being daringly creative with the toppings they put on their favorite food: pizza. After an extensive investigation, we've ranked the wildest—and, in some cases, most seemingly delicious—pizzas the Turtles have ever tasted. Surely, the upcoming film, out August 8, will add more to the list.
2.Marshmallow and Pepperoni (1987)
In the television series, Master Splinter was not a fan of this one. Parents—or, rather, anthropomorphic rodents—just don't understand.
3.Krang's Age-Reversing Serum (1987)
After numerous foiled attempts to catch the Turtles, the evil Krang knew they wouldn't turn down a slice of pizza. The master plan: create an age-reversing serum and sneakily add it to their pie at a fancy Italian restaurant. However, only two of the pizzas were covered, so only Michelangelo and Leo were turned into baby turtles for the plot of this entire episode. Better than nothing, though.
4.Chocolate Chips (1987)
Who doesn't love chocolate chip pancakes? Well, this is basically the same, except with more cheese, marinara sauce, and potential for nausea.
5.Shredded Coconut and Sweet Pickles (1987)
Well, at least they're eating their fruits and veggies.
6.Popcorn (1987)
A new spin on an old movie theater snack. Also, an effortless combo made by thousands of college dorm room stoners.
7.Chocolate Sprinkles and Clam Sauce (1987)
It's hard to make a seafood-and-chocolate-covered pizza look appetizing, which is probably why the delivery man didn't open the box in this scene. If this strange combination were, this is what it'd look like. We'll take two to go.
8.Chocolate Fudge with Extra Garlic (1987)
You'll notice a theme throughout this gallery: the only thing the Turtles love as much as pizza is chocolate. Chocolate sprinkled with garlic, however, sounds about as enticing as turtle soup. (Sorry, fellas!)
9.Peanut Butter, Salami, and Double Yogurt (1987)
Donatello looks way too happy to be eating that slice. Something tells us his face looked more like this an hour later.
10.Extreme Domino's Pizza (1990)
In the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Donatello orders a large thick crust, sprinkled with, get ready for it, "pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, sausage, green peppers, black olives and NO anchovies" from Domino's. Our stomachs hurt just thinking about it.
11.Pizza Dumplings (2012)
Mr. Murakami actually created dumplings filled with pizza ingredients just for the Turtles, which basically sounds like a pizza roll. No one is above pretending like those didn't taste incredible when they were 9 years old. Or now that they're grown-ups, for that matter.
