The best pizza is an intersecting venn diagram of: free, not-going-to-kill-you; and delivered to your place of residence.

I’m a simple human :smiley:

I AGREE!!!

Every Italian in the world cringes at what we in the US and parts of Europe do to Pizza.

Best Pizza I ever has was in Positano (spelling)

I actually like pineapple on pizza, but the cheese has to be stronger than what you in the US are used to…

Then again one of the party foods in the UK is cocktail sticks with a chunk of cheese and a pineapple wedge, so you get used to the strange but nice mixing of cheese and pineapple flavours here. (There’s also silverskin onion and cocktail sausage on the sticks as well as cheese and the silverskin onion ones… )

I think for me it’s the acidic and sweet flavors in the pineapple that I don’t like. I don’t like it in general, though, not just in reference to pizza.

I do appreciate strange contrasting flavors sometimes! I’m a big fan of pickled beets and prosciutto as part of a meat and cheese plate. Ideally with some strong Gouda.

You lost me at Mushroom.

Salami and onion, my friend.

I can do pineapple, if it’s on a chicken BBQ pizza, with some red onion and cilantro. Otherwise, nah.

For the love of god then don’t look at the Japanese pizza menus. Like the Pizza Hut sea food mix with prawns, squid, tuna, mayo, broccoli, and onions on top of their classic red sauce.

That… is just vile. Seafood does not belong on a pizza.

Potato and Mayo pizza on the Dominoes Japan menu :stuck_out_tongue:

Hawaiian Pineapple is best put on Pizzas topped with Cheese and Fennel Turkey Sausage…

You don’t even need to leave the “traditional” pizza toppings to make pineapple not even worth bringing up.

You think pineapple is bad? Pineapple is as unobjectionable as cheese. It’s mundane. It’s normal, and it’s just fine. There’s nothing wrong with it. You want wrong? I have one word for you - Anchovies

Anchovies are incarnate crimes against the concept of food itself. Disgusting oily strips of everything wrong in the world - the fact that people actually eat these, nevermind put them on pizza, is a bizarre curiosity that probably started out as a prank or dare, and just never died.

Pineapple? It’s fine. And even if you don’t like it, it’s fine for others to like. Me, I don’t like Olives on my pizza (I do like black olives in general though), but I don’t think anything less of those who do. And that’s pineapple.

You want to call something out for being universally, conceptually wrong? Don’t lose your heads, don’t blow things out of proportion, and fight what matters.

Souce? Half a decade as a pizza cook.

As many of usual dead animals you can get on pizza. Though pineapple and Canadian bacon or pepperoni is good.

And anyone that had ever delivered pizza that anchovy pizza smell sticks around in your vehicle.

214

Pizza in Italy started as peasant food, and anchovies were cheap, preservable and readily available (and had protein), so it was a super common ingredient from the very beginning of the history of pizza. An Italian would normally rinse the anchovies of salt… Americans typically do not, so they’re just slimy salt bombs.

So where did the great outrage over pineapple on pizza come from? Was it some comedian did a bit on it and then everyone took it on as a crusade, like Lewis Black and candy corn? -insert stop-liking-what-i-don’t-like.jpg here-

Now what the earlier posts remind me off is the real culinary sin is here, as I double checked if Dominos did it too. Who came up with the bright idea that boring green bell pepper was in any way, shape, or form part of a cheesesteak?

I think it’s because pizza is not a solo food. When you order one you order for other too. And when a heretic order pineapple pizza. Someone who doesn’t like it have to eat them too.

I just do it for comedic purpose though.

I put pineapple and tofu on pizza. How’s that?

218

I would much rather eat pineapple & Canadian bacon than those “meat-lovers with extra extra cheese” drenched in all-American oil and fat.

At my age of mid 40s that would send me straight to the ER.

I don’t eat pizza very often. I like the traditional tomato, basil, mozarella cheese (Italian flag colours) ones though. If they’re using fresh dough then all the better. I think that’s key, no matter what odds and sods you like on your pizza. Fresh is best.

There used to be a place about 15km away when I was growing up that made the most fantastic pepperoni chilli pizzas. Knocked my socks off. Ahh good memories.

Touching yourself at night is a sin but I didn’t make a thread about it.
