    Belgian style French fries with Italian cheese, sold in a Dutch Lidl, a company from Germany? Makes sense…

      It looks like something Aldi in the US would carry, it’s pretty common for them to have weird pizzas. Germans, do your grocery stores sell weird pizzas there or is it just something inflicted on the rest of us?

        Where I am from in the Netherlands near the German border, it’s mostly margherita, bolognese, quattro stagione, 4 cheeses or Hawaii, nothing like this…surprised there was Dutch language on the box.

        Belgians certainly won’t have a clue what this ‘Belgian style’ cuisine is, but Germans and the Dutch apparently think they sprinkle fries on anything. We think of Belgian cuisine as crude cut fries with mayonaise.

          It’s not a regular product. It’s part of one of these “country/region promotion” that Lidl and Aldi do.

        Our supermarket pizzas are very boring

        The most exciting ones are probably ones with barely spicy chili peppers on them

    I think this is common outside of the United States?

    I have a friend in England that eats this shit all the time.

    I have no idea why, but my middle school served triangle/cardboard pizza (Tony’s, maybe?) and French fries as a meal combo every damn day. My little 12 year old mind couldn’t comprehend why they would just let us eat two of the best foods every day for lunch, but I loved it.

    Now, I doubt this would taste the same, but it’s definitely a good combination.

      The fries gotta be crispy. I’m concerned about them turning soggy from the steam of the pizza.

    It’s a common kid’s pizza in Italy. Here everybody gets a whole pizza, even kids.
