    What belongs on pizza vs not is an intimate decision between your tastebuds and your brain; place your order according to their findings.

    To my knowledge, my personal tastebuds are not capable of communicating with your brain, nor vice versa, so in the event that I’m ordering a pizza on your behalf, then yeah I’ll need to know your preference. Otherwise, if your brain gives you nom-dopamine when you eat a sauerkraut, cookie dough, and pre-workout powder pizza, then you do you.

      I guess the only way to truly find out is to see how deep we can stick our tongues into each other’s ears, right?

      Am I the only one?

    I wonder if people who hate it are hating it after actually trying it, or they are just instinctually repulsed by the idea itself.

      Good Hawaiian Pizza is great and mediocre Hawaiian Pizza is terrible. It needs to be piled high with sweet pineapple and salty ham or some other pork. It’s really easy to get mediocre Hawaiian Pizza.

        I’ll go with that. Maybe some of the people who think they hate Hawaiian pizza have only had mediocre ones.

      I like Pineapple jalapeno and pepperoni, but the magic is the pineapple and jalapeno. It almost creates a whole new flavor and it’s awesome.

    The important thing is that the pineapple is small chunk sized so that it cools down with the rest of the toppings when it comes out of the oven. I had it once where the pineapple was larger than an olive and because they have so much liquid to retain heat they were still too hot to eat when the rest of the pizza had cooled off.

    Pineapple on pizza isn’t bad, it just feels… disjointed. It’s like I’m happily chewing on pizza, with all the expected flavors and textures. Yum. Suddenly, there’s pineapple there for some reason. It doesn’t mesh with the other flavors. It stands out too much. Pineapple dominates instead of blending in. It’s not that I don’t like it, or that I can’t appreciate the whole “salty and sweet” combination, but there’s no balance or harmony. That’s what I’m not a fan of.

      I’m willing to accept that there may be good pineapple pizza out there… but the question is WHY? It’s never going to be better than the established greats. Why are people infatuated with an inferior alternative? I don’t know man, but it keeps me up at night

          Like just cheese? It should at least have flavour in the tomato sauce and seasoning no?

          Edit: tbf I have never eaten plain cheese pizza unless you mean margarita which I don’t like either

            With the typical sauce. You’d be surprised how little people are willing to explore pizza.

            In fact, if people say that pizza is their favorite food, they’re almost 100% implying a cheese pizza.

            And I worked at a busy pizza joint across from a college campus. More than 70% of all pizzas were a basic cheese or a very slight variant.

    I wanted to post the “everyone disliked that” meme but I’m clearly in the minority. Perhaps even more so as I love both black and green olives on my pizza 😋

    To each their own! If anyone else likes olives I’ll be over here enjoying my abomination alone.

    anywhere in greater vancouver area of british columbia where one could find a ‘good’ pineapple pizza? maybe I just never tried a well made one because so far I don’t get it. I’ve tried many but I’d rather just eat the pineapple separately. That’s not to say it’s so bad that it’s inedible, but its not better than the ingredients on their own. If the other options aren’t worse I wouldn’t try more than one piece. And I’ve had some pretty wacky fruity pizzas I didn’t want to like that turned out really good.

    I do not like pizza (it’s half a cheese toastie), but if I had to have a slice, Hawaiian is the sole option.
