* Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza
* BBQ Chicken Pizza
* Cheeseburger Pizza

I've also made * Garden Vegetable Pizza, where i finely diced/shredded various veggies (including carrots, they were finely shredded and added a sweet burst) and topped the pizza with. Was very surprised when my daughter claimed it as her favorite.
I often find pizza inspirations in the Aldi frozen food section. Red onion, provolone and hot mustard pizza... You never know what kind of pizza you are going to find there. But all the ones I have tried have tasted pretty good.

Hey Everyone,

Well, we'll see how this goes. My genius (perhaps slightly dyslexic) brain originally typed out, "Why is Pizza on Pineapple SO Controversial?" :LOL:

Yeah, the thinking cap is a little backwards this morning.

We all know the infamous controversy about pineapple as a topping on pizza:

th



BUT, I've always wondered exactly WHY it's so reviled. Is it because:

* Pineapple is a fruit, and fruit should never be on pizza.

* Pineapple is sweet, and sweet shouldn't be mixed with a savory food.

But if this is true, what about things like sweet and sour? Why does one combination work and not the other?

* Is there something just inherently evil about pineapples? Is pineapple somehow a fruit of the devil?

* And (the reason I'm posting this in the Family sections.) if/when your family members disagree on toppings, how many different pizzas do you have to order so everyone is happy?

I have some family members who like a few "unconventional" pizza styles, such as yes, the infamous pineapple, along with BBQ chicken (my least favorite of the ones they've tried,) all-vegetable, and "white" pizza, usually involving spinach and sometimes artichokes. Sometimes when I go to visit, that might be all they've fixed or ordered, so I've learned to not be very picky-- or chances are, I won't get fed. :cry: (And don't we ALL show up when a free meal is involved?!) :ROFL:

Whether you think pineapple on pizza should be beloved or bemoaned, it's time to square off!! 🥊

Leave your thoughts, comments, and reasons as to why YOUR opinion is RIGHT (because that's what we do here on the forum :LOL:,) and tell us why the opposing side is COMPLETELY WRONG (obviously!) :cool:
Blasphemy.
 
I have not had pineapple on pizza in ages, but I think it goes well with ham. I think pineapple on pizza is likely more of regional specialty, maybe more popular in places like Hawaii. Most people elsewhere do not rush to order pineapple on pizza.
Hawaiians HATE ham and pineapple. And it's not Hawaiian, Canadians created it.

* Pineapple is sweet, and sweet shouldn't be mixed with a savory food. //(Depends on the palate)

But if this is true, what about things like sweet and sour? Why does one combination work and not the other? //(Good point! who don't like sweet-sour?)
