Its food man. It belongs if you like it, it doesn't if you don't. I don't understand some of these arguments where "the originating culture did it this way so it belongs!" Who cares how people half way across the world make their burritos, fuck culture and tradition. Cooking is art, do what you want and make it how you like. Personally I put rice in because its an easy nutritious filler that doesnt impact taste or texture too bad and which extends the good meats and seasoning and stuff out a couple meals.

pizza with rice?
Tried it once. Solid 5/7. Top marks.
A perfect 5/7.
I managed a place that had Fried Rice Pizza, and Lo Mein Pizza. They were popular with carb loading athletes. Our most popular pizzas were the General Tso's Chicken Pizza, and the Crab Rangoon Pizza.
I don't know how they do it elsewhere but I do hear Italian pizza and American pizza are very different. Haven't been to Italy to say what they put on it.
