Focused Feedback: Pineapple vs. Pizza

[Tigress]

One of my favourite Pizzas of all time had pineapple, banana and peaches on it, along with chicken and curry, topped with Gorgonzola cheese.

Not sure its still pizza at that point.  Lol

[Tigress]

We europeans have a little more lenient view on that. You can buy "chocolate pizza" in most supermarkets (which is in effect one giant cookie).

[Cyrious]

Pizza with pineapple on it is heresy.

[LuckyDuck]

I'm convinced that most of the naysayers have just never had a good pineapple pizza. They had cruddy ones made by plebs. Pizza chefs who let it soggy things up or screwed up the ratios. 

 

If your only burgers ever eaten were only McDonald's and you thought they were the best brand, you wouldn't expect gourmet ⅓ pounders could be any good. And yet..

truth. why do people not know how to drain/press the pineapple? 

 

it even works with frozen pizzas.

[Seavea]

Anchovies are the best pizza topping, and anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves. As for pineapple, it's not for me. But hey, you do you.

I seriously am in awe of how far this joke has been taken. *slow clap*

[Broken_Prey]

Pineapple, ham, bacon, and banana pepper is the best pizza. So yes it belongs.

Joke? The validity of pizza toppings is no joke. It's srs bsns. And the perfect topping combination is pepperoni, bacon and mushroom. Period.

This just shows limited thinking in pizza toppings.  The obvious answer in the above scenario is to order one pepperoni, and one Hawaiian but only with pineapple on one half of the pizza.  You can add olives or something to the other half.  This way there is enough pineapple to satisfy the pineapple-lovers, and plenty of pizza to share with the pineapple-haters.

I understand that people who hate pineapple on pizza are obviously monsters and you seek to punish them, but forcing them to endure olives is just too much. No crime deserves a sentence that severe.

Pepperoni, Pineapple and Jalapeno Pizza is the best pizza.

That was my goto in college (80s).   Kept most people from stealing a slice.  (And darn tasty)

Olives are amazing. Beef, black olives, and spinach is so good.

[Blastit]

Pineapple is fine, but it's gotta be fresh and you can't just pair it with everything. Smokey meat and a touch of chili is quite acceptable.

Fruit totally belongs on pizza. One particular fruit is a key ingredient (tomato).

 

 

Sweet things, though... that shit don't belong anywhere near that. 😡

Expand  

Pear and blue chees on pizza. With no tomato.

 

But no, pineapple doesn't work, the thing is that it actually clashes in taste with tomato.

The original pizza "Napoli" is in fact with anchovies and no mozzarella. Mozzarella (pricey cheese at that time) was added on "Margherita" in honour of Queen Margherita of Napoli.

...says someone who would consider pineapple on pizza and thus not notice when they kiss the Devil's Tongue.

So close!  Can we just not agree the pineapple is the way to go?

Come on, people. We have to at least try to have this thread outpace the Rage thread.

Sorry Crimson, as long as their sufficient people who tolerate pineapple, it's just a Pyrrhic victory.  And don't lay a finger on my olives...Must have their deliciousness in both my cocktails and on my pizza
