Opinion of pineapple-on-pizza

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

This should be fun.

[MasterJedi]

Not my first choice but if it’s the only option it’s not bad. Just a bunch of dudes online conditioned to think it’s bad.

[Meclazine for Israel]

It was initially an Australian thing.

But our Italian masters are not very pleased with this culinary development.

You won't find it in Rome.

[Fuzzy Bear]

I'll eat it without complaint if offered and it's the fare of the day.  I won't order it.

[Mr. Smith]

no.

[Battista Minola 1616]

Realistically speaking is just one of many baffling types of pizza which I would not enjoy that exist around the world (including in Italy), but obviously I voted for the last option to play it up.

This debate has always been stupid and people love to jump on the band wagon of hating pineapple on pizza.

Truth is, pineapple on pizza is great when caramelized properly. Pineapple balances out saltiness, which is something most people don’t appreciate because most people know nothing about proper balance when it comes to food. Problem is, most places don’t cook the pineapple properly. Of course, pineapple doesn’t belong on EVERY pizza, but the fun thing about pizza is there’s unlimited recipes. You can put ANYTHING on a pizza as long as the ingredients complement each other. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had was in Madrid and was topped with green apples. Sounds tart, tasted fantastic.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

A blight.

[Progressive Pessimist]

A travesty.

[ProudModerate2]

It's good.
I order it on occasion (with Canadian bacon/ham).
I would not say it's the greatest thing, but it's fine.

[The Dowager Mod]

Evil.

[Devout Centrist]

I think it could work if you caramelize the pineapple first. Otherwise it's just too sweet and clashes with the other flavors.

[SnowLabrador]

The best pizza! I order it whenever I can!

[dead0man]

pineapple tastes like death to me, but I don't exist to tell other people what to eat, option 4

[Antonio the Sixth]

bad

I recall first tasting a pineapple and Canadian bacon pizza as a grad student in the 1980s. I found that the combination reminded me a lot of sweet and sour pork. That was a dish I liked back then and that appreciation transferred to the "Hawaiian" pizza. I very rarely have sweet and sour from an Asian restaurant anymore, but I probably have pizza with pineapple a couple of times a year.


FF topping for me

[Starpaul20]

An abomination

Quoteposting this for emphasis- reminds me of a reel I saw of a Vietnamese American woman attempting to grill a pineapple while stoned and making the caramelized result into a snack to be eaten with Greek yogurt.

"Pineapples belong on pizza" is one of those meme statements I give in situations where I have an option to express my political views (or indicate some level of engagement with US politics) but don't feel comfortable going into policy specifics.

[retromike22]

Gross

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Just Cheese and Pepperoni for me, thanks.

[wnwnwn]

Not THE BEST, but still very FF

[Gracile]

Atrocious.

This leads to an interesting spinoff question: what's the most unusual pizza topping you've ever had?  For me it's lobster, on the island of Bequia in the Grenadines.

For the original question, I'm fine with a ham and pineapple pizza.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

same as any other pizza; its bad

[Obama24]

FP, love it
