New Jersey is full of pizza aficionados who aren’t afraid to tell you what should and should not go on a pizza. Pepperoni is safe, as are a slew of veggies. Mashed potatoes? Why not. Ham and pineapple? The jury is still out.

But what about chocolate?

Villa Italian Kitchen, the Morristown-based pizza chain that turned heads this summer when it sold just pizza crusts, has its latest crazy concoction. A “Three-Course Pizza” that’s designed to act as a full meal — appetizer, entree and dessert.

It can be yours for $25 and can be found at the restaurant’s New Jersey locations at Garden State Plaza and Bergen Town Center Paramus as well as the Jersey Shore Premium Outlets in Tinton Falls.

Caesar salad in the center? Maybe controversial for some, but not unheard of. A ring of penne with marinara sauce? Unorthodox and a whole lot of carbs, but tasty nonetheless.

Now for dessert... a chocolate-stuffed crust, drizzled with chocolate syrup.

I’ve heard of sweet and savory, but this is taking it to a new level.

“We know the holidays are a stressful time for people who can’t or would prefer not to cook,” Stephanie Beamer, Villa Restaurant Group’s divisional vice president of catering, said in a release. “With so many potlucks and parties popping up throughout the fall and winter, we wanted to create a solution for our guests who love our products and the convenience of an easy, high-quality catering option. The Three-Course Pizza provides the perfect solution — and tastes amazing, too!"

I had to put those last three words to the test.

The salad portion was fine. Not the best salad you’ll ever have, but certainly not the worst. The pasta portion was surprisingly tasty, though the noodles were a little less al dente than I would have hoped.

Then the crust. The hot, thick, chocolately crust that was overflowing with the sweet stuff before I even bit into it, leaving my hands sticky with chocolate from the second I picked up the sloppy slice. I bravely bit into the crust and... didn’t hate it? I mean, what’s not to love about what amounts to a hot chocolate pastry?

Then I saw that I still had tomato sauce on my hand. I couldn’t ignore it, mixing it with the sweet chocolate taste I was already enjoying.

And yeah. That wasn’t good. Chocolate and tomatoes do not mix.

If you make sure to not breach the crust before finishing the tomato sauce, you could theoretically enjoy it as a dessert separate from the rest of the pizza. But if you get to mixing, brace yourself for a weird flavor profile.

So yeah, I’m usually a crust guy. But this time, you can have mine.
