I've always wondered: Is prosciutto & fig pizza a thing outside of the US? Once I mentioned that to an Italian chef in south France, and he almost kicked me out.
Whenever I cook some frozen pizza I tend to add one or two raw eggs on top of it before throwing it in the oven. But when ordering pizza, I prefer to choose something with ham, onion, mushrooms and olives, pretty regular stuff such as calzone or american pan pizza. But I am currently quite fond of kebab with béarnaise with onions (is that even a thing outside Scandinavia?).

I'm pretty sure that's barely a thing inside the U.S. :)

That's very odd. I don't think I've ever seen a "gourmet" pizza restaurant that doesn't serve fig & prosciutto. Of course you don't get it in a sub & pizza shop. Maybe it's a New England thing?
Not the mince that seems to be put on far too many pizzas now.

I would wager that most people have never been in a gourmet pizza restaurant. ;) Many places probably don't even have one within easy driving distance. Even just the higher-end, non-fancy pizzerias that simply make better-quality versions of the old standbys are not everywhere.
In the bigger city nearest to where I live (pop. 165,000 or so), I doubt you could find that particular ingredient combo (fig being the tougher sell). So it might be specific to your region, or it might be that more rural areas just generally don't have much demand for those kinds of variations. My money'd be on "both".
I like homemade pizzas with custom toppings.

Hawaiian pizza (pineapple, ham, bacon), with diced apples, raisins, walnuts (or pecans), and cauliflower is awesome!

You can substitute broccoli instead of cauliflower if necessary.
Pretty much anything but anchovies, chicken (too dry), broccoli (the green one, brits!)

I love Hawaiian pizza (pineapple, ham/bacon, onions) or Deluxe pizza (sausage, peppers, onions, black olives, banana peppers, pepperoni), or white pizza (garlic sauce instead of tomato) with artichokes, spinach, onions and mushrooms.

However, a local thing here is that the cheese goes ON TOP of the fixings. any other way is just uncivilized ;)

I have also found that adding cheddar cheese to pizza is amazing.

Yeah the they do that with the cheese around here too. I've grown to love it actually in particular the way one local chain does it.
