In the world of pizza, people are passionate about what toppings are and are not okay.
Pineapple on pizza has caused a rift that the pizza world may never get past. The peas and mayo pizza still haunts the waking dreams of pizza fans around the world.
And now a new player has entered the divisive pizza game: The Spokane Style Pizza.
The culinary question mark came to the internet's attention thanks to this TikTok by Josh from Mythical Kitchen.
@mythicalkitchen Now here's a pizza style you probably never ever heard about. #fyp #foryou #pizza #spokanestylepizza #food
The creation contains fry sauce, canned salmon, bell pepper, white onion, mozzarella cheese, and stawberries all baked in a deep-dish with a cheesy crust. It gets topped with more fry sauce before serving.
So, you know how sometimes satire is so perfect that you can't tell if it's satire or not? This is one of those times.
TikTok isn't quite sure what to make of it.

Spokaners felt so spicy about this parody pizza that it ended up on the news.

And all over Twitter - where people had pretty much the same reaction as TikTok.

Everybody from Spokane knows that you don\u2019t put strawberries on this pizza. That\u2019s literally insane. We use goddamn huckleberries here!https://twitter.com/mythicalchef/status/1511816708972900354\u00a0\u2026— \u2728A Boi Called Rys0n\u2728 (@\u2728A Boi Called Rys0n\u2728) 1649883249

Literally @VisitSpokane needs to come out with a statement that whatever that eastern state hospital escapee thinks is \u201cSpokane Style\u201d pizza, that ain\u2019t it.— Alex Mueller (@Alex Mueller) 1649879408
For his part in this pizza panic, Josh kind of feels bad. He has since apologized for breaking the internet with his pizza trolling.
