Exotic principal ideal domains

Recently I realized that the only PIDs I know how to write down that aren't fields are $\mathbb{Z}, F[x]$ for $F$ a field, integral closures of these in finite extensions of their fraction fields that happen to have trivial class group, localizations of these, and completions of localizations of these at a prime. Are there more exotic examples? Is there anything like a classification?
