For those who don’t want to give Gothamist their email to read about the place, here’s the website. And they also serve… drumroll… SUSHI!
(but no shrimp with the eggplant on the pizza, because: kosher.)

Arguments? On a food site? No. Way.
How lucky we are.
The combo is not that off-the-wall. When I was growing up in NJ, pizza / falafal restaurants - always kosher - were very common. My local, Jerusalem II Pizza Falafal, is sadly gone. But others remain.

It’s been a great month for that. Year? It feels like a decade, almost.

I was impressed by sushi on the same menu as pizza, not falafel
(I do love me a ziti pizza, seems harder to find these days but it used to be everywhere, including on the Jerusalem menu)
Will you settle for penne? 'Cause Ray’s has it.
My neighborhood place still has it, but not every day anymore.
I see you’re taking argument to mean “pugilistic stance has entered the chat.”
Ketchup on a hot dog might crinkle the nape of any Chicagoan, but at the end of the day, it’s just one meal of thousands.
I’ve recently seen ziti on pies at a number of NYC-area pizzerias.
But I gotta help steer this thread away from the iceberg, so…
another annoying restaurant feature for me would be prix fixe menus for certain festivals/holidays.

Those annoy me a lot less than prix fixe menus for group size X – which could be as low as 6!
Both of these irk me as well. I feel like I’m getting fewer options, lesser service because the interaction is abbreviated to “chicken or fish?,” food that’s cooked in batches rather than to order, and the price often goes up.
Assuming you’re talking about places that would normally have a regular menu but substitute the prix fixe menu on said festivals/holidays, yeah. I’m ok with it if I know in advance that that’s what it’s going to be, but if it’s a place where I have a good idea what I will be ordering based on prior patronage only to find out they’re only serving a single menu (or severely limited choice menu), I’m going to be ticked.
It’s quite the bashable combination.
And if you think I’m the only one who finds shrimp and eggplant pizza cognitively dissonant, you’re fantasizing.
Note that I did not say that combination is repulsive or a desperate cry for attention akin to wearing a fez in the swimming pool.
Curiosity got the best of me (I honestly never considered eggplant or shrimp on my pizza . . . just don’t care for either). So I checked out my favorite pizza delivery spot and found that I could order an eggplant pizza and shrimp is indeed a choice for “additional toppings.” My local Med favorite offers both an eggplant pizza and a seafood pizza that includes shrimp. I suppose the next time I visit I could inquire if they’d make me an eggplant shrimp combo, but I probably won’t.

Here in the NYC metropolitan area - the largest city in the US and 10th* in the world - eggplant pizza is widely available. Just as common as other vegetable toppings. Shrimp not so much.
EDIT: *I just randomly googled the rankings; I’m not into arguing about whether it is the 10th in the world or 9th or 12th.

“Well, punk, you gonna” get it over your usual order? It would be out of spite 
See if they’ll do broccoli and canned tuna.
Dull steak knives. I ate a steak today with a semi-serrated butter knife and they had nothing sharper.

No, an omelet which can never be beaten too often.
