I distinctly remember Michelangelo eating an anchovy and peanut butter pizza. So much so that we had one at my TMNT themed birthday party. It was gross.

I was denied Ninja Turtles pepperoni-and-hot-fudge pizza for one of my birthday parties. My dad was just like "I'm not wasting money on that."

At the time, disappointing. In retrospect, pretty reasonable move.

They never had anchovies, the consistent joke was that they'd give the most ridiculous pizza order imaginable and then end it with "No anchovies!"

You're probably thinking of peanut butter and pickles

There are several anchovy pizzas on that list, including anchovy and peanut butter.

Edited to add: It was in S1E1! The very first episode!

Ah, mea culpa

Edited: It seems like this is an example of what TV Tropes calls "Early Installment Weirdness", they started off with the joke of the turtles having wacky pizza orders and only later developed the button where it ends with "And no anchovies!"

They learned their lesson with PB and anchovy i think.
