So, yesterday was the first time I tried pineapple pizza and I just wanted to give it a try. Not because I was craving it. Just because I wanted to try something different. Boy, I liked it! It weirdly tasted so good with the cheese and a soft touch on the dry base of the pizza.
Yeah, just wanted to share something new that I tried and liked. :)
Welcome to the controversial side 😂 it’s way better than people give it credit for.

I’m overwhelmed and extremely delighted by the positivity around pineapples on pizza here! Thank you for welcoming me so warmly and slightly menacingly!

There's a reason it is consistently one of the top 3-4 most ordered pizzas at a lot of pizzerias, despite the online memes against it!

Can I be extra controversial and say that it's...okay?! I wouldn't ever order it, but it's not foul. It's just okay. I'd much rather just have cold pineapple as desert after a pizza though.

I love pineapple on pizza with ham. But sometimes (and I don't know what causes it) ham heated on pizza takes a weird turn than makes it vile.
And I have found it's the combination of pineapple and pig that's good. So yeah because of the occasional rancid ham situation I stay clear

I can’t speak for others, but I didn’t hate it before trying. I just had the idea that it might not go well with the savory flavors of the pizza. I was mistaken and I’m not ashamed to admit that about pineapples on pizza!

I had the best pizza of my life in Mexico, of all places. Pineapple, onions, pepperoni, a sprinkle of cilantro (also controversial) and the prize of it all was habanero crema. OMG, I am having a flashback just talking about it. 🤤🍕

It's not that bad or even at all. Is it my go to topping for pizza, probably not. If a Hawaiian style pizza is among the boxes, you bet your ass I'll be picking up a slice.

I'm not a fan of pineapple on pizza except occasionally if it's combined with something spicy and something salty like pepperoni or maybe some bacon, the sweet, spicy and salty combo can be pretty good. Jalapenos do the trick but I like serrano too. I'm typically not big on sweet stuff but from time to time.

If someone likes the taste of something, no one should condemn them for it. I hate spicy food, but it's extremely popular. Does that mean I'm right and billions of other people are wrong? Heck no!

Fun little anecdote...
Way back when, I went with my cousin to his church's youth group's weekend long lock in.
One night they got pizza for dinner. They had like 100 pizzas from one of their local places set out on a couple long tables. 3 or 4 boxes deep...
I went back for thirds or fourths or whatever and as I'm walking along the tables trying to see if anything looks interesting I find a pizza with yellow-y cube-y things.
This'll be the perfect time to try pineapple on pizza I think to myself. If I don't like it I'm just wasting a single slice...
I grab a slice, bite into it and ....
Oh... They're not pineapple chunks... They're banana peppers!
A slightly different taste than what I was anticipating when I bite into it ...
I found out I like banana peppers on my pizza. And I still don't know about pineapple...

There are so many stages to this. I used to hate it, but that's because I was eating canned on a Hawaiian pizza. And then I tried fresh grilled on a pepperoni pizza and finally understood what all the fuss was.

The only thing that belongs on pizza is whatever you want on your pizza. It's really weird that so many people thinks it's normal and correct to tell other people how to eat their food. Not to mention that eating a Canadian version of an Italian food inspired by Hawaiian ingredients just gives me a warm fuzzy multicultural feeling.
