Pineapple pizza has always been a shunned food in Italy. But now, one of the country’s best known pizza makers has created his own ‘pizza all’ananas’ – leaving the country divided.
Well it’s a bianca which does seem a little off to me to just remove the sauce element entirely but it seems like he went for just the pure ‘salty and sweet’ play and I think it could work. He grills the pineapple rings to eliminate moisture issues. Overall I think this would be a good pie but the tomato seems so crucial to the whole thing working, but maybe that’s only when ham is in play.
Edit:
As an aside, a recipe for a good party food is to core and hollow out a half pineapple, leaving some meat on the skin, then chop the remainder and lightly brown in a pan with cubed ham, cherry tomatoes and pizza seasoning of your choice (basil is great here), then throw it all back into the pineapple with those little mozzarella balls and broil the whole thing. Serve it with crusty bread. It bops.
