Burn in hell.

in my understanding the main problem with pineapple as a topping is that it's not good for long term storage

if you get fresh pineapple on a pizza out of the oven it could easily be god tier

frozen hawaiian pizza tastes faintly of vomit

looks surprisingly good.

No way, man. You've clearly never tried a tuna and sweetcorn pizza with green olives.

If you're eating frozen pizza you forsake the right to complain about topping choices since everything on the pie has been freeze-dried within an inch of its life. The cheese especially at that point is more caulk than dairy.

It's actually a thing, I looked the most Midwestern sounding topping and sweetcorn and surprising popular. Also, I'm not from Nebraska, I'm from a part of the country that knows if your pizza joint doesn't have pictures of Dean Martin on the walls and Louis Prima playing in the background, you walk the fuck out..

I know in Amish country they make sweet corn pie. it's like chicken pot pie but corn and hard-boiled eggs. it's pretty good.

East coast pizza is the only pizza. I usually like the Greek-owned walk up by the slice stuff best though

Yeah, not to sound like a buzzfeed video, but if your pizza doesn't fold it ain't shit. Prepared by an Italian, cooked by a guatimalan, that's pizza.

This thread makes me want to give pineapple and ham pizza a shot again.
Pizza in Portland is weird. Everyone seems to want to be a hipster and make gluten free pizza with truffle oil and chevre or something.
Like it can be good but I miss New York pizza.
I just looked up my favorite pizza place and they offer "Canadian bacon and pineapple" pizza. Is that better?
My boyfriend is a pizza snob and his take on this issue is "it's not really pizza"

you'll never know good pizzas, I'm truly sorry for you.



yep. the fruit part itself shreds up my upper palate for some reason. I'm not a fan.

Oh I've had that, your pineapples are too acidic. I don't know how you can make sure you are getting a decent one though, that's a bummer.

Canadian bacon is pretty much just salty ham, so I say give it a shot.

Until I came to Australia I had no idea pineapple on pizza was even a thing, but here it's pretty much a staple order. A standard order is one 'Hawaiian' (ham and pineapple), one 'Supreme' (sausage, olives, capsicum, mushroom, pepperoni) and one pepperoni (because of course). There used to be a company that made these 'Aussie' pizzas, with a shitload of meats and also egg on them (apparently if you want to make something Australian you put egg on it) and they were outstanding, but they are gone now
