Let's settle this once and for all.
Does pineapple belong on a pizza?
I always thought this was a weird argument. It's like saying "does peanut butter belong on a sandwich." Like, yes, it belongs in a PB&J sandwich but probably not in a BLT. Same with pizza. It depends on the type of pizza.
Hawaiian pizza is great. Fite me, people.
We hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created equal. And pineapple is a devil fruit that has NO PLACE ON A PIZZA.
I'll go a step further and say the world would be a better place if pineapple didn't exist, period.
Bleh. Me and Mr. Carny always disagree on this.
It is great on pizza. #TeamPineapple.
Pineapple pizza with jalapenos is one of my favorites. Kind of weird, but so good!
It's really, really weird that people are so invested on what other people eat.
Inb4 someone says "You're weird for thinking that's weird" or some sort of variant.
I don't like pineapple on my pizza, but as long as I don't have to eat it (which I don't) then who cares? It's not a big deal.
This is exactly why they get away with itQuote:

It's a non-issue, because I can just pick it off, but it is funny to argue about.
Also, what?:
Iceland's president forced to clarify views on pineapple pizza ban
Holy SMURF!! AGAIN?!!!!
Hawaiian pizza is the best thing and YOU CAN GO TO HELL FOX FOR SPREADING SUCH PIECE OF trout BLASPHEMY!!!!
Do you not hear yourselves? HAWAIIAN Pizza?Quote:

This wasn't just the first true pizza, it was the beginning of the pizza culture in Italy, which has dominated global cuisine ever since.
In the centuries since, the greatest chefs of the Italian nation (and, by extension, the world) have experimented with new and exciting pizza recipes. Many of which have now become common household staples. The Farmhouse, the Seafood, the Cajun Chicken Sizzler etc. However in the early 1950s two rogue chefs opened a pizzeria in Naples that attempted something none had dared before: they served ham pizzas... with added pineapple. Pineapple. The people were wary, but Italians are not well known for being snobs, so they graciously gave this new dish a fair chance.
It was a disaster. In 6 months the national suicide rate was up almost 15%, and emergency treatments for choking and malnutrition reached their highest points since World War II. Given the severity of the consequences, and the Italian government's desire to contain the knowledge of what they deemed a "culinary weapon," the developers of the dish were not given a simple prison sentence. Instead, they were exiled to an uninhabited island acquired by the Italians during the war, which they were never forced to relinquish because it lacked any strategic military value. The goal was to create a new prison facility worse than even Guantanemo; an island were the occupants would be served Pineapple pizzas morning, noon, and night. The island was named 'Hawaii,' and thus the pineapple pizza quickly picked up the nickname 'Hawaiian Pizza'. So in most of the civilized world, to have your food compared to a 'Hawaiian Pizza' - a dish made solely for the inhabitants of a prison island as a form of correctional torture - was the most horrendous insult you could receive.
Then in 1959 the USA bought Hawaii from the Italian government because they thought there was a market in New York for pineapple on pizza. Masochists.
no u
Yes
This pure propaganda.Quote:

In my googling it isn't even a pudding. :colbert:
Genetically people who like pineapple on pizza have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that's a scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is a scientific fact.
Is that one of those alternative facts I've heard so much about?
Imagine the furthest possible food from an actual pudding.Quote:

Pineapples are good. Pizzas are good. But pineapples on pizzas are not good.
Pineapples are gross and should be kept away pizza.
People who don't like pineapple on pizza are likely cannibals and should be locked away for life.
It's no better or worse than a lot of the weird trout people put on their pizzas. I find a lot of the time people who rail heavily against pineapple on pizza are the same people who will put barbecue sauce, or ranch, or egg or any other kind of weird thing on their pizza. You should be able to put anything you like on a pizza, free of judgment, because at this point it's been bastardised so much that it really doesn't make a difference. My ancestors judge you all equally.
Egg on pizza is amazing. You can dip the pizza crust into the yolk and mmmmmmm...Quote:

I hate pineapple, so I'm a no.
I think I just vomited in my mouth a little bit.Quote:

I like it if it is bacon instead of ham. The smokiness of the bacon compliments the pineapple pizza. I don't like it if it has too much pineapple though just some spread around but more bacon on a thin crust :D
I do enjoy breakfast pizza.
Actually I just enjoy all pizza.
Bad pizza is such an oxymoron tbh
To be fair, I haven't had hawaiian pizza in a long time, so maybe my taste buds have changed?
Just make sure it's with fresh pineapple. Trust me. World of a difference
I've had that once- you need to get past the initial "wut" and give it a shot. It's better than expected. As are haggis pizzas.Quote:

I like Rinoa and Ramen on my Pizza. Then some Pineapple.
Hawaiian pizza invented by a Canadian. When it comes to surviving the winter we are objectively genetically superior to pretty much everyone but Russians. You just don't smurf with Russians.Quote:

Quinoa still sounds like a weird topping.
I hate Quinoa.
What kind of question is this? Pineapple is the single best pizza topping in existence.
Agreed. Never had a pizza I didn't like. Well, I didn't like anchovies when I first had them, admittedly, but now I LOVE them. Damn it, I'm craving anchovies now. With pineapple. On the same pizza. Salty and sweet yumminess. I can almost taste it. Deffo trying that next time I'm somewhere that has a "select your own toppings" option.Quote:

I will say, if you want an interesting Hawaiian Pizza, you should try it on a BBQ sauce base. It makes it really nice. That or with Chicken added in too ;)
Only pineapple I like is pineapple juice. So no. Get the pinapple away. Get it away!

Also no pineapple yes to egg.
Heck yeah. One of the best I've had is pineapple and jalapeno. Odd sounding, but so right, like salted caramel.
How dare you invoke the forbidden word!
I can't think of anything worse to put on a pizza than pineapple.
No. It just doesn't go well with cheese. Especially the cheap stuff that gets put on most pizzas.
My sister used to always order Hawaiian pizza when we ordered pizzas. I didn't have a problem with it. I still don't. It's hard to ruin a pizza for me. Unless it's cold taco pizza rather than hot mexican pizza, or you replace the sauce with something weird like ranch, I can usually just taste it as pizza. Hawaiian pizza I believe was pineapple and ham. So it still had meat. The pineapple was not any worse than having other fruits or vegetables. Olives, onion, peppers, it's just sweet rather than hot or bitter
I have way more problem with sweet and sour chicken. Having a very light sweet on my pizza is way better than my chicken tasting like skittles. That's just bizarre. But it's way more popular for some reason
I like the way you think.Quote:

My ideal Pizza is Mushroom, Sweetcorn, Onion and Peppers. So I usually get a Vegetarian.
Anyways, I voted yes since anything belongs on a Pizza if it makes people happy, choice makes the Pizza.
On an unrelated note I once saw a "Chocolate Madras" in Iceland once, I wonder how that tasted?
the other day we had a hawaiian pizza and i think the pineapple was a bit rancid so it ruined everything
Not Hawaiian pizzas though, they're still great.
Like if it's really good quality pineapple I might be able to stomach it but low-quality stuff is vile. Wouldn't touch it.
I do enjoy fresh pineapple a lot more too Formy. However for me it's not a question of any veggies or fruit, it is if the pizza do ant have meat on it, it's not a pizza to me.
