I get people wanting to defend the "traditional" preparation of a food, because otherwise you get into weird philosophical "burrito of Theseus" issues, but... You can just slap "non-traditional" on it and then carry on and enjoy the food. If you feel really strongly or it's really out there, call it a fucked up ____ inspired whatever.

One of the best pizzas I ever had was at a pizza place near me that has a "trust us" pizza, where you don't know what it is, but it's new and definitely worth the cost (they're not giving you a plain cheese pizza). It was like a strawberry and anduille pizza with a seasoned sweet white sauce. It was weirdly good.

Seems dangerous to let people order a dish without knowing what's in it. Lots of people are allergic to strawberries and might not otherwise expect that to be on a pizza if not disclosed up front.

They do ask you to let them know if you have any allergies, and they do tell you what everything is when they give it to you. You're not at risk for eating something you can't. You'd have to not tell them when they ask, and then ignore them when they told you the ingredients.

That sounds ok, then, if they actually ask you your allergies up front. If they only told you when serving, I'd still be a bit upset if I ended up paying for a dish I couldn't eat. Better than dying of anaphylaxis either way, though.

Totally. And the staff is also pretty reasonable about how it's ultimately just a fun way to get food you might not have thought of.
I usually tell them I hate sour cream and they'll let me know if I should get something else, which is technically against the "rules", but it's also just pizza that I'm paying for and not a national secret or anything.

Man, I would love a place like that.
