    Good. I love it, when people hate pineapple pizza. That leaves more for me.

      Never understood the hate for it. I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but the hate is just so over the top. Like a joke that people took too seriously. Is it because pineapple is sweet? But there are so many sweet toppings and condiments for Pizza. There is probably more sugar in the doe than in a few slices of pineapple in some countries. Do the same people hate Toast Hawaii as well?

        Do these people hate salted caramel, or sugar in their coffee? Honey-roasted peanuts, cranberry mold on thanksgiving, fruit slices in their salad? I get not wanting regular deli ham on your pizza, but not pineapple.

      Love the stuff. It somehow just really delivers that essence of pizza for me which is ironic considering it’s specifically one of the most controversial not kosher, not “authentic”, commonly seen topping choices

    The only thing tastier than pineapple pizza is the juicy hate of all the food cops out there.

      Pineapple, tuna, olives, red onions and parmesan cheese. Trust me.

      Oh, and top it with some aioli (after baking, obviously)

        You’re like the Jack the ripper of pizza. I feel like if I came across your work I would be unable to stop from heaving and subsequently throwing up all over the scene of your crimes.

    Americans get no say on what goes on pizza, an “Italian-American” is just an American

      Pizza is as Italian as the automobile is German.

      To claim no car should be painted, e.g. Ferrari Red because the original Benz Patent-Motorwagen wasn’t red is just as ridiculous as claiming pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza.

      Or, you might as well claim that no movies should have sound or be in color because Louis Le Prince’s Roundhay Garden Scene had neither.

    The suffering of a pizza lover food prescriptivist

    FTFY

    It’s probably just memes and hopefully no one actually feels this way, people getting mad about “proper” Italian food not being made “properly” need to open a history book about how every culture ever has borrowed and remixed ingredients and recipes from other cultures time and time and time again.

    (OP I know it’s just a joke and I’m not having a go at you)

      Yes! People dont’ understand that you’re supposed to eat pineapple with spicy stuff!

      As a kid we used to go to a viet restaurant and they had a spicy chicken with pineapple. Phenomenal stuff! That combo would absolutely work on a pizza!

      No need for a full pizza. I drink that. Pickled jalapeno, and the brine it comes in, is an amazing when added to pineapple juice.

    I love pineapple on pizza. Always have. It’s weird to me that haters are so stupid about it, while at the same time happily putting sweet and sour sauce on chicken, or pineapple on pork chops, etc…

    The Sweet mixed with the Savoury has been a thing in cuisine literally forever. Pizza is no different.

      I mean I also hate those other examples you gave. I feel like sweet should never really cross the palate with savory and it’s almost always worse. I prefer spicy every time.

        For sure. Preference is allowed. But at least, to my knowledge, you don’t deny its very existence in cooking. Sweet/Savoury is a thing. Always has been. Not your cup of tea, that perfectly fine.

      To me, sweet on savory tastes delicious, but sweet on cheese tastes like pus. Like, literally like pus from a sore. It can have a good flavor profile in general, but the latent flavor similarities are too much for me.

    A good Hawaiian pizza is amazing. A bad Hawaiian pizza is a sad affair and there’s a lot more mediocre Hawaiian pizzas then there are good ones.

      I 100% agree. Adding pineapple to a pizza doesnt make it Hawaiian. Theres a pizza joint near me who has such a killer Hawaiian, i order it without pineapple because i dont like pineapple on my pizza. I get a lot of looks until they try it and realize theres more to it.

        Hawaiian Pizza is Ham(or other pork meat) and Pineapple and balances the sweet and salt of the two. I prefer it with bacon, but something salty to go with the sweet of the Pineapple is necessary.

          Theirs is

          Ham, bacon, pineapple, toasted almonds, provolone and mozzarella cheese, and a dusting of cinnamon

          Idk maybe its the cinnamon, but its dope as hell

    It’s wild that people get so bent out of shape over pineapple on pizza when the nordics commit foodcrimes even I cannot condone. These people live sheltered lives, barking at the shadows on their cave walls, unaware of the horrors of candied reindeer and strawberry pizza.
