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.
Wow, thank you!
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.
This is Canadian-Greek erasure!
(I get that it's a joke, but how often do you get to complain about THAT specific combo being overlooked? 😁)
Next, we snap the spaghetti and send your nonna the video.
Not before cooking them in unsalted, but oiled water and then putting ketchup on them
With or without hotdogs?
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)
Pineapple jalapeño. Try it.
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.
Pineapple (chopped) with salami, red onion, and some balsamic drizzled on top.
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.
Agreed. I find it delicious. It's ok that others don't like it, but don't yuck my yum.
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.
Well fortunately pizza's just made with mozzarella, and also that cheese has a completely different profile from anything sweet.
Right, which is why I like pizza, but not pineapple pizza.
Oh the horror - you clearly need to apply cheese before the toppings.
Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada
The solution is easy. Pick out the pineapple and eat them separately.
Nah, the pineapple juice just taints the entire thing 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
Gay: Hawaiian pizza was made in Canada Fake: This is not NY pizza.
Banana mascarpone pizza.
That's called cake
Pizza is a tomato cake?
It’s an open-faced sandwich.
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.
If you want to put pineapple juice on a pizza, that's fine. But get those gooshy, bug-like chunks the hell away from me 🤢
Imagine living in the deepest corner of Chicago and ordering a hotdog with only ketchup on it. And your phone gets the text message "⚠️ Your Uber Eats delivery driver VITO has arrived. Message: i got your hotdog right here...".
We all got along great at my last job. Small company, ~24 people. It was pineapple on pizza. We were at war.
My former manager, who is still a good friend, literally someone I go get drinks with to catch up, can fucking die and burn in hell because of this.
the one true pizza has a wheat bread crust, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, cooked just enough to get some browning in the cheese. my autism has spoken. theres a ton of room for variation in that pizza and ive enjoyed a lot of it in my life.
you can put whatever you want on your pizza but if it strays too far from the one true pizza im not gonna eat it. you can have all the pineapple you want, but im gonna think to myself that its a waste of pizza. much worse than pineapple is barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce. that shit is disgusting and an insult to the concept of pizza.
Generally when I go for a pizza and I've never had anything at The parlor, I usually try to get some kind of specialty that they have that they might execute really well at and a sausage and pepperoni because that's the default test Pizza. If you can't do sausage and pepperoni it's unlikely you can do anything right.
