    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.

          If you mean margherita… A good margherita is still really tasty, putting the quality of the dough, sauce and cheese on display

          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.

              That’s crazy. I struggle with not adding ‘everything’ when I make pizza at home.
              Ham, chicken, salami, mushroom, capsicum, onion, crushed garlic, pineapple, Italian herbs, a cheese blend, maybe an egg or two, then a drizzle of aioli after it’s cooked.
              Damn, now I’m hungry.

      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

      Agreed, I don’t hate it, but to me it’s like I’m just eating pineapple and pizza at the same time. I love both, but eating both at once doesn’t add anything for me and I don’t think the tastes go together very well. I’d enjoy either one more on its own.
