Pineapple on Pizza

[Marlin]

This annoys me, an Italian chef in Australia refused to put pineapple on a pizza. While my sub was on a Mediterranean run, I had a pizza in Italy and was not a fan. This is not restricted to Italian chefs I have frequently heard that pineapple does not belong on a pizza.

Italian Chef Loses Job After Refusing to Put Pineapple on Pizza

My favorite pizzas in order are pepperoni, Hawaiian (pineapple and Canadian bacon) then meat lovers. I prefer thin crust as I like it a bit crunchy. Most of the pizzas I eat are from the grocery store but the best I have had are from hole-in-wall pizzerias.

Comments/opinions?

I grew up in South Jersey.(1963-1980)Hundreds of pizza places or more in the general area between Phila. and the shore.First time seeing a thin crust was at Pizza Hut.Most places were owned/staffed by Italians.A friend who came to US from Italy ended up taking over the family pizza business.I never even thought of ordering a pineapple strewn pizza from his place - he was a good wrestler and his family was "connected".😆
