Anchovies are essentially raw fish that are preserved in salt, but without the salt they don't taste fishy either, but without the salt they won't stay preserved because they're not cooked!
I like tiny pieces of anchovy spread evenly across a pizza to give it a bit of a punch which salt does, but without actually using salt when making a pizza.

Every topping on a pizza should do something for the pizza or else it shouldn't actually be on there. It is said by professional chefs that fine cuisine should not contain anymore than 5 ingredients max, otherwise the individual contribution each ingredient makes is lost to the wind as those ingredients merge and form a mish-mash of non-specific, unidentifiable taste.
A pizza is no different. There should be no more than 5 toppings with red and green peppers counting as two separate ingredients on a pizza because they both taste different from each other.
When you add anchovies, you are actually adding a component of salt which isn't otherwise added to a pizza separately, but which kick-starts the flavors from other ingredients which otherwise may remain dormant if the heat and baking time of the pizza is not absolutely correct.

Very true, but if you're happy with how Americans make pizza, then go for it!

I have had them on white pizza...which is a Greek style pizza with white sauce, feta cheese, kalamata olives, spinach, and anchovies. I like that particular pizza a lot. Haven't had it in about 20 years, though. It's hard to find a place that makes it.
I also like anchovies on Caesar salad, and I actually buy them when I plan to make my own salads.

When I lived at a friends house my friend said her grandma is going to order pizza tonight, but warned me that she orders weird stuff on it. She said I am going to order my own and take it to my Boyfriends place so I said no problem I like everything on pizza!
It ended up being anchovy pizza.......😭Guess I don't like everything on pizza. lol

Proper Italian pizza is very regional depending on where you are in Italy on the coastal areas it is more likely to have fish inland can be entirely vegetarian in places in other it will have meat of some sort on it.
Also it it usually part of a meal rater than the meal itself.
Back to your question yes as long as they don't overpower everything else.

@MsSwan Beautifully salty!
@Adeptlinguist I love salt, but it was too much for me.
