justhach, This is your reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant in an Italian restaurant in Canada.
Poggervania, (edited ) Yup.
If it was actual Hawaiian Pizza, it’d have Spam and/or kalua pork with pineapple on top. Maybe some furikake for a saltier taste.

Poggervania, Braaaaaaaah, that’s also the ono kine grinds 👌 I was just making a dumb joke about Hawaiian pizza lol, but a BBQ Chicken Pizza is bomb.

Kolanaki, Really? That’s how Round Table does their Maui Wowie. Some kind of sweet and spicy BBQ sauce instead of the normal tomato sauce. They should just replace the Canadian bacon with Spam and it would be perfect.
JohnEdwa, (edited ) …inspired by the Chinese sweet and sour food he had been making, named after the brand of pineapples he was using.
mrcleanup, I thought I knew which side of this argument I was on until I saw the picture.
iAvicenna, I have a hard time believing most Italians would even consider this as pizza.
Rakonat, Italian ‘Pizza’ difficult to call pizza. It’s more like bread covered in tomato sauce with a little bit of cheese on it.
iAvicenna, That is more likely a pizza margherita. There are italian pizza where they dump shitloads of veggies or cold cuts on it too.
OneWomanCreamTeam, Bread covered in tomato sauce topped with cheese sure sounds like pizza to me.
afraid_of_zombies, I am glad nothing else in the world is going on so that we can afford to think important issues such as company trying a variation on pizza in a mature market with many options to consumers.
ImminentOrbit, It’s good, but remember it doesn’t mean you have to have it on every pizza forever. It blends nicely with jalapenos and white onion to give a sweet and spicy taste, but I wouldn’t put it on a veggie lovers or meat lovers.
Most importantly, no one is making you eat it. If someone else likes it, fuck off and let them enjoy it. This reminds me of the “no ketchup on hotdogs” people. Just let people like what they like.
answersplease77, pineapple with cheese? Amatures. have you tried ice cream with eggs?
ElderWendigo, That’s just custard.
Lennnny, I like pineapple pizza. I also dunk my fries in milkshake. When I’m feeling hungry I’ll open a ton of sardines and just go heavy on those salty fuckers right there over the sink. And I’m ashamed of none of these things.
XTornado, For a second I was imagining the sardines on the milkshake, thank God that wasn’t the case.
Lennnny, Don’t give me ideas.
magnetosphere, I try to give fans of Hawaiian pizza the benefit of the doubt. I say that apparently I’ve never had Hawaiian pizza done right. To me, it just tastes like a decent pizza… that somebody decided to add fruit to, for some incomprehensible reason. I’ll laugh at myself and change the topic.
Do you insist on steering the topic back? Want to lecture me on how great “salty and sweet” is? Okay, fine. I’ll suggest putting Twizzlers on there. Or m&m’s. Is that nauseating? Do you think those flavors and/or textures don’t work well on pizza? NEITHER DOES PINEAPPLE, YOU STUBBORN, BORING PIZZA SNOB. SHUT UP ALREADY.
DingoBilly,
tsonfeir, They need to divide those pineapples more.
_sideffect, Is that powdered fucking sugar on the crust?
ikidd, Grated cheese of some sort.
_sideffect, That does make more sense lol

beebarfbadger, I even deliberately put in that oxford comma for once in my life, just to prevent this very “misunderstanding” :)
qisope, never let a comma stand in the way of your dreams

saltesc, I’ve seen those English dramas too, they’re cruel.
Gingerlegs, If you put pineapple on your pizza, I will assume you’re a serial killer.
BolexForSoup, Then you can call me Mr. Bundy.
Alto, It's like an entire portion of the population has never heard of the concept of sweet and savory.
SaltySalamander, Either you don't like pineapple, or you've never actually tried it on pizza. There is no third option.

Kyre, It's so idiosyncratic that every single pizza place in the Western world has it on the menu.
themeatbridge, Peppers are a fruit. I think you mean to say it makes no sense to put sweet and sour things on savory things, because that’s a flavor combination that never, ever works.
StorminNorman, Um, sweet and sour chicken/whatever protein you want is a dish you’ll find in every westernised Chinese eatery, and it’ll be one of the most ordered dishes.
themeatbridge, Sorry, that was meant as obvious sarcasm. There are many dishes from practically all cuisines that combine sweet, sour, and savory flavors.
Kolanaki, Ham is often accompanied by sweet things like honey, brown sugar and pineapple. Guess what meat is usually on the pizza with pineapple.
ikidd, Ham is often accompanied by sweet things…
Not in my house, buddy. We’ll eat the dead pig as god intended, smoked and salty.
Kolanaki, You’re missing out then. Honey glazed ham is amazing 🤤
NoIWontPickaName, It’s because it’s hot
themeatbridge, You gotta let it cool a bit, but once it does it’s like grilled pineapple. Pineapple tastes good.
Kolanaki, It doesn’t have to be… When I make it at home, the pineapple goes on after it comes out of the oven, not before it goes in.
cygnus, Looks like it’s time for Vesuvius to erupt again.
_number8_, very important article about how italian food snobbery is completely made up: ft.com/…/6ac009d5-dbfd-4a86-839e-28bb44b2b64c
In this same house, in the 1980s, Nonna Fiore once served some English guests lasagna, per my uncle’s request. The lasagna was cooked from frozen, her story goes. Life was busy and, anyway, she had no qualms about serving a supermarket ready meal; people could only dream of such a luxury during the war. None of the guests suspected that she hadn’t made it from scratch and everyone was delighted, her Italian son included. She reminds me of this, then looks up at me and winks.
teft, None of the guests suspected that she hadn’t made it from scratch
Bullshit. Did this author ever try a 1980s frozen lasagna? They absolutely could tell, they just didn’t want to offend her.
Zorque, Either that or Nonna's lasagna was pretty awful anyways.
