While the name implies that it's about pizza toppings people don't like, the trope's actual definition makes it clear that it's specifically about anchovies. While the Penny Arcade image demonstrates a topping practically no one will like, it doesn't mention anything about anchovies. I suggest either removing the image or replacing it with one that illustrates the trope better, or changing the definition to be about pizza toppings people don't like in general.

Fixed the article link for you, if the trope is about anchovies on pizza then yeah, we should be hunting out something else. Redefining the article to expand it out to any unwanted topping, that's a question for the Trope Repair Shop.

Pic is also just heads and words. It wouldn't be any different as a page quote.

[up]I don't think the current image is good, because it's not talking about the subject.

I think.

It's a very short description, it says pretty clearly it's about anchovies and the commonality of it being a topping nobody likes.

[up] [up]oh but it could be about anchovies if we wanted it to. As it is simply speech bubble overlays and text, it could allbe easily be changed... with permission of course.

I've done it before for this kind of thing and it worked out fine.

(a) That feels cheap, and (b) the result wouldn't be nearly as funny as the original.

[up]Indeed.

How can we have a page image for Pizza toppings without actually showing the pizza?

Aye, seems like this image is parrotting a bad trope name. I support a pull.

Something like this from Futurama? I mean with better quality and without those circles.(Don't have time to do it right now.)

I know this looks like crap (and it is a rage comic), but it's a perfect illustration. [1]

The fact that the Pizza Guy purposely gave him the wrong order seem to muddle the point somewhat, though...

[up] Seems like a different trope altogether...hmm.

I wish the anchovies were clearer.

[up]Maybe add the panels showing him putting the anchovies to add the context? Not sure if it's all that relevant though...
