A recent discovery of mine, after forty+ years of pizza eating. Pineapple and anchovies have a nice cancelling effect on their more extreme flavors, balancing them out nicely. Something spicy for a little kick.
In a movie called Mobsters and Mormons, a mafia family goes into the Witness Protection Program and gets moved to Utah. The husband was ticked at his wife getting a pizza with pineapple.
Let’s see . . . Lulu talks about intolerance and cruelty, and then says that she dislikes the stupid, so that’s one point against her; Pig doesn’t like pineapple on pizza, which is one point in his favor. By my count, Pig wins by two points.
“How can people be so heartless? How can people be so cruel? Easy to be hard easy to be cold”” can people have no feeling?How can they ignore their friends?Easy to be proudEasy to say noEspecially people who care about strangersWho care about evil and social injusticeDo you only care about the bleeding crowd?How about a needed friend?I need a friend”
Americans are just playing catch-up. On a visit to New York in 1990, my auntie visited with several natives of the Big Apple. Pizza came up and they were stunned at “ham & pineapple”. They asked “this is something you have to special order at a sympathetic restaurant, right?” “No, it’s item #9 on practically any pizza menu in Canada”. In my own experience, it was readily available on a Great Britain menu as “Polynesian Pizza”
I remember a MAD magazine spread on pizza once (long, long before the Great Pineapple Debate). I’m sure it was more than fifty years ago, but I think of it often. It defined a pizza thus; A flatbread crust covered with tomato sauce and cheese which is then layered with any number of toppings designed to obliterate the taste of the first three ingredients. (Which may explain why beer is frequently the beverage of choice to accompany a pizza.)
Sam Panopoulos claimed that he created the first Hawaiian pizza at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, Canada in 1962. Inspired in part by his experience preparing Chinese dishes which commonly mix sweet and savoury flavours, Panopoulos experimented with adding pineapple, ham, bacon and other toppings.
I could not care less what other people want on their pizza. Just let me have mine the way I like it. I don’t carry on if someone else has something on a sandwich or pasta dish I won’t be eating. Who cares if someone else wants pineapple? Don’t eat it if you don’t like it.
Pizza is Italian, right? Spaghetti is Italian, right? Imagine a plate of spaghetti with marinara, or any other red sauce, with chunks of pineapple in it.
Actually, I would’ve called it a night after the second panel. Anyone that smug, self-satisfied and self-righteous doesn’t need me — or anyone else. Besides, I happen to like Hawaiian pizza!
In Japan, I have seen corn, mayonnaise, fried potatoes, and even penne pasta on a pizza. There are some things that simply do not belong on a pizza. But pineapples are fine by me.
Who puts tomato sauce on their oranges? Who puts cheese on their bananas? Who sprinkles garlic and oregano on their applesauce? The pineapple on pizza people, that’s who.

Considering Pineapple on pizza is usually accompanied by Canadian Bacon, it’s probably understandable why Pig wouldn’t like it.
