Do you like pineapple on your pizza?

Ravenslight

I’m a pepperoni, mushrooms and onions kind of gal.

Mods, please take note of those who say yes when planning your next round of bans.

Good choices all round, I personally go for caramelized onion or something seafoody. Pineapple can work well with some seafood I swear.

FinneousPJ

It's not so clear-cut an answer. Can you define the problem more specifically?

The caramelized onions sound lovely, but I don’t like seafood.

I love pineapple as well, just not on pizza.

The sweetness of pineapple is a great counter to the muskily brinieness of mussels, bringing harmony to the a previously overly fishy pizza.

You had me until you started putting fish on your pizza. For me, pineapple goes best with spicy or savory--ham, jalapeños, pepperoni.

I say this and beg for your forgiveness. My local pizzeria sells pizzas with andouillette and roquefort as toppings... and I actually tried it once!!!

I was young I didn't know better

When I was vacationing in Naples, I saw a kid in a pizzeria eating a pizza with hot dogs and french fries on it.

Out of curiosity, I tried a slice when we got to Rome. It was exactly as weird and gross as I thought it would be.

I kind of like blue cheese on some pizza, it works well in small amount and coupled with lots of mushrooms

TheElf

Only on a Hawaiian. Haven't tried it otherwise.

The only thing worse are those pizzas that come with a fried egg in the middle (I don't eat eggs, I wait for them to grow up first).

Kamigoroshi

I also do love deep fried pudding as pizza toppings~

Nonnahswriter

I mean, it's not terrible on a Hawaiian pizza, and I like pineapple by itself. But it's not something I go out of my way to order every time.

Gimme olives and mushrooms and sausage, please!

You don't put fruit on a pizza. You put VEGGIES on a pizza.

You don't put fruit on a pizza. You put MEAT on a pizza.

SethDavis

enjoy your tomato-less pizzas, you weirdos.

I will...with Alfredo sauce

Mr2150

Fruit is for pudding not for dinner.

FinneousPJ

Tomato is a fruit, though.

Mr2150

Tomato is different - for a start, it is not pineapple.

The best way to do pineapple pizza is to add a small amount of brown sugar onto the pineapple slices before putting the pizza in the oven. Much good.

How I learned to love pineapple pizza, a short tale.

In 8th grade (sometime in like 2002 or so I think), the school I went to decided that the class that donated the most canned food would win ordered in pizza - I live in a very rural area so they would do this 4-5 times a year per school year because rural poverty is the pits. Anyways, my class won every such drive. Now, the teacher, he was a cagey fellow, and he knew that if he put something weird on the pizzas none of the children in his class would eat it, and he would net himself a tidy sum of free pizza. So he ordered in pineapple pizzas. He unveiled them to the class - several audible "ews" "yucks" and other verbal expressions of revulsion could be heard. Nobody went up to eat their free pizza! I didn't care at all, and decided I'd be DAMNED if I didn't eat all the pizza I could possibly eat being as it was free. So, I went up, ate that pizza, and convinced one other classmate to do so as well, and from then on she and I would eat the free pizzas while our teacher looked on with mild dismay, while all the rest of the students looked at us like we had two heads.

And that's the story of how a giant nerd learned to love pineapple pizza and ended up getting his first girlfriend lol.

The best way to do pineapple pizza is to add a large amount of brown sugar onto some melted butter before putting on pineapple and dough. Be sure to make the dough with eggs and sugar. And no yeast. Best pizza ever.

Ravenslight

I would argue that tomatoes are only “technically a fruit.

They have worked in such harmony with meats and vegetables for so long now that one has to take a moment to even remember that they are scientifically classified as a fruit.

Much the same as how the usage and definition of words change over time, classifications can as well. I think that perhaps the time has come for the people to rise up and demand the reclassification of the noble tomato. Has it not proven it’s worth? It’s right to be included among the likes of potatoes and onions?

I mean, if they can suddenly decide that Pluto is no longer a planet… then anything is possible.

deltago

Did you know, the Hawaiian pizza (pineapple, ham, mushrooms) was invented in Canada in 1962.

Another reason to hate the place.

No grain, no pain.

Now this is an excellent way to eat pineapple.

Awong124

I'm ok with it. I don't hate it nor do I love it.

No.
