[2naSalit]

3. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

White sauce is okay but pineapple, never.

JMO

[debm55]

9. thank you , 2naSalit. for your opinion.

[arkielib]

4. I say yes. Particularly if it has ham or Canadian bacon on it too.

[debm55]

10. thank you arkielib. I would imagine some changes would have to be made.

[rajuncajdim]

79. YOU'RE

HALF right

[debm55]

82. Thanks

[Diamond_Dog]

6. No.

[debm55]

12. Thank you Diamond_Dog for sharing.

[Paladin]

8. No way, no how. (nt)

[debm55]

13. Thank you Paladin for your opinion.

[kimbutgar]

11. Yes had a pizza in Hawaii with ham and pineapple and it was delcious!

But the margarita one is my favorite!

[debm55]

14. Thank you kimbutgar. May I ask what is the margarita one?

[kimbutgar]

16. Mozzarella, Whole Tomatoes and basil leaves.

Light and delicious on a thick crust ( sourdough) is my favorite.

[debm55]

18. Thank you very much. I think I can go for that.

[rajuncajdim]

80. nice

no pineapple

[BOSSHOG]

15. Yes Indeed

Hawaiian Pizza. I find that pineapple is a nice addition to any pizza.

[debm55]

17. Thank you BOSSHOG. I don't know if I would like the sweetness on a pizza.

[Wncdem]

19. NO!

NO!

[debm55]

21. Thank you Wincdem and welcome to DU,

[marble falls]

68. What you said plus 1000%! No Canadian bacon, either!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

150. Welcome to DU

[rsdsharp]

20. Yes, I've had it. A roommate used to work at Happy Joe's Pizza.

The Happy Joe’s chain was founded by (Happy) Joe Witty, who “invented” pineapple on pizza when he wanted a pizza, and found himself with only some Canadian bacon and pineapple.

It wasn’t awful, but I wouldn’t pay for one.

[debm55]

22. Thank you very much for that information, I thought it started in Hawaii.

[rsdsharp]

23. At least according to company lore, it started in Davenport, Iowa.

[debm55]

26. Thank you very much. That is interesting

[rurallib]

51. Happy Joe's - he also brought the world the Taco Pizza

[rsdsharp]

62. And it's a good one! We had one about 6 weeks ago.

The only thing wrong is they changed the taco sauce packets. The are full to the brim, and you can’t open the little suckers without a knife, and when you do, they spray taco sauce all over!

[applegrove]

77. I heard it was invented in Ontario, Canada.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_pizza

[rsdsharp]

89. I'd tell you to take it up with Joe Witty, but he's dead.

I don’t know.who was first. I just related the story from Happy Joes.

[applegrove]

93. Not important. What is important is that I am going to have to make

a pineapple upside cake in the near future because of this thread.

[rsdsharp]

99. LOL. Send me a piece, please.

[applegrove]

101. I would if I could. I asked my 100 year old grandmother

what she thought of the internet. I explained you sent things on it. This was in the early naughts. She asked for a chicken wing. So I'll go to that portal on the web and send you a piece of pineapple upside down cake. LOL!

[rsdsharp]

149. It's just a series of tubes, ya know. Just pop a piece into one of them!

[OLDMDDEM]

24. Yes.

[debm55]

29. Thank you OLDMDDEM

[KitFox]

25. I've had a Spicy Hawaiian

Pizza which has spicy BBQ sauce, chicken, pineapple and red onion. I liked it. What is your favorite pizza, Deb?

[debm55]

38. I like red sauce, no meat and vegies . with cheese. thin or medium crust.

[wendyb-NC]

27. Yuck, absolutely not

I've had it, great way to ruin a good pizza.

[debm55]

40. Thank you wendyb-NC

[LakeArenal]

28. Noooo!

But I make a great pineapple upside down cake.

PS no anchovies on either pizza or cake.

[debm55]

41. hahahahahahhahahhah. I like your post. Thank you LakeArenal.

[True Blue American]

44. Have you tried the pineapple cake?

Drain a large can of crushed pineapple, mix with,” I like French vanilla, bake 350. You do not even have to butter the pan.

[LakeArenal]

47. Yum!!!

[displacedvermoter]

30. With anchovies, ham, red onions and jalapenos

Very good!

[debm55]

42. Thank you displacedvermotor. I go for that except no anchovies.

[SWBTATTReg]

31. YES. It gives you a different but good taste to the pizza. Papa Johns have some top of the line Pizzas that include

pineapple as a topping.

[debm55]

43. Thank you very much SWBTATTReg.

[JoseBalow]

32. I prefer good pizza, but to each their own

My only general rule is, a pizza shouldn't have more than two toppings. Other than that, have at it!

I prefer just pepperoni. Mushrooms are OK too.

[debm55]

45. Thank you JoseBalow. I like veggies and mushrooms. No meat or fish.

[KT2000]

33. Yes!

I get the cauliflower crust veg pizza at Costco and add more stuff, usually sliced summer sausage. I also add Pineapple bits that compliment the saltiness. A real taste treat sensation!!!

[debm55]

95. Thank you KT2000. Enjoy

[CrispyQ]

34. Yum!

I'm veg, so no Canadian bacon but it's good with spicy tomato sauce, green peppers, & mozz cheese. It's very wet though, so if you're cooking your own pizza, I'd get the tidbits, not the rings, & let them drain while you roll out the crust & do the rest.

[debm55]

112. Thank you CrispyQ

[Lilithschyld]

35. Yes!

[debm55]

113. Thank you Lilithschyld

[LoisB]

36. That would be an emphatic NO!

[debm55]

114. Thank you , LoisB

[radical noodle]

37. Favorite pizza

hand tossed, regular pizza sauce, red onions, Canadian bacon, and pineapple with Mozzarella cheese. The best!

[debm55]

115. Wow thank you radical noodle.

[radical noodle]

124. Get a small one and try it sometime

Unless you dislike pineapple, I think you'll like it.

[debm55]

129. Just might do that.Thank you for the suggestion.

[True Blue American]

39. My family likes it, I do not.

I even get hot peppers if they have them. Banana peppers that come sliced thin in a can.

[debm55]

116. Thank you True Blue American

[pandr32]

46. Yes, fresh is best!

It roasts and enhances the natural flavor. I like it with peppers and onions and a slightly spicy 🔥 sauce.

[debm55]

117. Thank you very much pandr32

[doc03]

48. Never tried it but sounds good. nt

[debm55]

118. Thank you doc03

[50 Shades Of Blue]

49. I've never had it either. No for me!

[debm55]

119. I feel the same. Thank you 50 Shades Of Blue.

[True Dough]

50. I am a firm YES!!!

[debm55]

120. Thank you very much True Dough.

[True Dough]

142. You realize

that the Dough in my DU screen name was inspired by pizza dough, right?

[debm55]

143. No , I didn't realize that. thank you for sharing that with me.

[True Dough]

144. You also realize,

I tend to make things up as I go along.

[debm55]

145. No, I thought you were being honest with me.

[True Dough]

146. 99% of the time, I'm having fun

and not to be taken seriously. Just like in real life, I have to live with the consequences. When I have something rather extraordinary to tell people in my circle, they usually pass it off as me being goofy. I'm like the boy who cried wolf! No one to blame for that but myself!

[debm55]

147. Thank you, It's on me for feeling stupid not you.

[True Dough]

148. No need to feed stupid at all, deb

You're clearly an intelligent member of this community and it's never my intent to make you or anyone here feel stupid.

Have a great Sunday!

[Aristus]

52. I never understood what all the yelling and screaming and hair-pulling over pineapple on pizza was about.

I like it. I respect that others may not. And “It’s not pizza if there “X” on it!!!” is b.s. If you like it on your pizza, order it; if you don’t, order something else.

I like Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza. The combination of sweet and salty is very appealing.

[debm55]

121. Thank you Aristus.

[yellowdogintexas]

155. Cornflake chicken breasts. Old time DU folks will recall that war.

This discussion is so tame compared to that one.

[debm55]

157. Not one poster is yelling and screaming about pineapple on their pizza. Posters on this thread have been very nice and

calm about what they like and why they like it. Their are two posters who posted NO in caps and I didn't post a fight with them. what I did do was to welcome them to DU. I will say no more.

[beemerphill]

53. In some cases,

A pineapple and shrimp pizza is one of God's special treats for those He really cares about.

[debm55]

122. Thank you beemerphill, Now that sounds good.

[Kali]

54. ...

[debm55]

123. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH. Thank you Kali.

[gopiscrap]

55. it tastes great

on pizza

[debm55]

125. Thank you very much gopiscrap.

[woodsprite]

56. Yes! A little ham, pineapple, green pepper, and onions!

I don’t care much for the ones that put bacon on them but if we’re down at Lisa’s Pizza in Rodanthe, NC. I’ll make an exception 😁

I really liked Domino’s Pacific Veggie pizza on their thin crust. They used to complain about making it and now it’s not on their menu anymore around here.

[debm55]

126. Thank you woodsprite. With the added veggies it sounds great.

[Aussie105]

57. No way, no how!

Negatory!

Nope!

But if what is on your pizza is your biggest concern today, you are doing well.

[debm55]

127. Thank you Aussie105. It is a fun post to get away from the stress of what is going on in the US right now.

[ProfessorGAC]

58. No Strong Opinion

I've had some bad Hawaiian pizza, had a couple that were great.
It wouldn't be my first choice, but if that's what somebody ordered I'd be happy to partake.

[debm55]

130. Thank you ProfessorGAC. I agree.

[cloudbase]

59. Include me out, but for those who like it, you're welcome to my share.

[debm55]

131. Thank you cloudbase.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

60. You will love it... especially with shrooms, onions & extra sauce!!!!

[rajuncajdim]

81. orrrrrrr

no pineapple but lots of jalapenos, really good folks.

[debm55]

133. Thank you and welcome to DU

[debm55]

111. Thank you very much.

[debm55]

132. That sounds good with the extras Thank you.

[debm55]

160. Thank you. But I will order a small one just in case.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

162. Let me know how you like it.

[debm55]

163. I will

[ArnoldLayne]

61. No!!

[debm55]

74. Thank you ArnoldLayne.

[Dr. Shepper]

63. Absolutely yea

Love the sweet pineapple with the salty cheese.

[debm55]

73. Thank you , Dr. Shepper. The pineappple without the ham would be maybe okay.

[Phoenix61]

64. Back when I ate ham absolutely!

One of those things that sounds awful but is really yummy.

[debm55]

72. Thank you , I was thinking that too.

[Luciferous]

65. Never had it, but it just doesn't sound good.

[debm55]

71. Me either. and I agree.

[boonecreek]

66. Never tried it.

My taste in pizza toppings is pretty
traditional, sausage & mushroom.

[debm55]

70. Thank you boonecreek. I haven't tried it either. Mine are veggies for the toppings.

[CTyankee]

67. It is ILLEGAL to put pineapple on pizza in New Haven!

Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you'd better not come here and order that thing in one of our beloved pizzerias.

[debm55]

69. HAHAHAHHHAHHAHHAH/ thank you CTyankee, that is funny.

[electric_blue68]

75. Probably not. Either white pizza, or sicilian...

also plain w finely sliced red onion rings, and sausage.

I had one local independent pizzeria who added fresh chopped garlic unasked for with the ricotta cheese on the white pizza. Heavenly!

I love it, and try to have twice a month.

[debm55]

85. That does sound heavenlly. Thank you electric-blue68 and enjoy.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

76. Absolutely!

[debm55]

84. Thank you and enjoy.

[rajuncajdim]

78. never

EVER.

[debm55]

83. Thank you and welcome to DU

[tintinvotes]

86. Yum

Pineapple, pepperoni and jalapenos

[debm55]

88. Thank you tintinvotes. Enjoy.

[dai13sy]

87. Pineapple is a wonderful little tasty, crunchy (if it's not cooked too long) and juicy bite of deliciousness. I always

have it with Canadian bacon and a nice, crunchy crust

[debm55]

92. Thank you dai13sy. enjoy

[RandySF]

90. NO!!!!!

[debm55]

91. Thank you RandySF

[NBachers]

94. Yup- Not only that, but I cut pizza with a knife and fork if it's too hot to bit into. The travesty! The Travesty!!

[debm55]

96. HAHAHHAHAHAHa. Thank you NBachers. enjoy.

[Runningdawg]

97. Yes, but in small amounts, not every pizza.

There is a restaurant in Tulsa who makes a pizza with pineapple, pulled pork, mandarin oranges and red onions. Very good. But I rarely have it, because Im the only one in the family who likes it.

[debm55]

136. Thank you Runningdawg. I would have to try a small amount first.

[GreenWave]

98. Just pineapple.

Most people don't want pineapple so I get more pineapple!

[debm55]

100. Thank you GreenWave.

[dgauss]

102. I worked part time at a pizza place through college so got to experiment a bit.

Pineapple was a discovery. A bit of pineapple could be combined with a lot of things in a surprising way on a pizza.

Pineapple and ham was a good place to start. My favorite taste experience ended up as pineapple, ham, pepperoni and a little bit of anchovy. Not something I would have conceived of out of the blue but plenty of time to experiment led me to it.

[debm55]

103. Thank you very much. dgauss. Enjoy.

[dgauss]

106. It's the famous salty sweet combination that works in surprising places.

[PufPuf23]

104. No! but not sure why anymore except habit.

Ate all sorts of pizza never with pineapple.

Pineapple struck me as wrong on pizza when first encountered over 50 years ago. Admit never even tried a pineapple with ham or Canadian bacon or pineapple alone or with something else combo.

I like fresh pineapple. Loved my grandmother's pineapple upside down cake as a child.

[debm55]

110. Thank you PufPuf23

[HUAJIAO]

105. My friends in Italy would cringe at the idea.

[debm55]

109. Thanks HUAJIAO

[ailsagirl]

107. Nope. n/t

[debm55]

108. Thank you ailasgirl

[NameAlreadyTaken]

128. It's delicious

[debm55]

137. Thank you NameAlreadyTaken.

[murielm99]

134. No.

If you bring that stuff around here, you are dead to me.

[debm55]

138. Thank you murielm99, You are just joking right?

[murielm99]

140. Of course.

This is not a serious thread. It is for fun.

[debm55]

141. I know but I had some posters tell me I should be worrying about about other stuff in the world. I am sorry if i took

the wrong way.

[Oneear]

135. Imo's Pizza has Pineapple Topping

Imo's Pizza Hand Crafted Friendly People Safe Food to eat

[debm55]

139. Thank you Oneear. That;s good to know.

[livvy]

151. Yes, but only when you feel like something different.

I've only had it a couple of times, but it was good. Both times it was a regular crust with ham and pineapple. I really didn't think I would like it, but it was pretty tasty.

[debm55]

152. Thank you livvy.

[Squeaky41]

153. A pizza favorite

Pineapple chunks, Canadian bacon, Alfredo sauce, diced anchovies, capers

Super fine flour crust with butter or ghee. Partial pre-bake before toppings.

Maybe pecorino in Alfredo sauce.

[debm55]

154. Thank you very much Squeaky41. Sounds great.

[yellowdogintexas]

156. Not just no but Hell No. It is an abomination.

Now I echo the poster above who mentioned Margarita pizza. It is now my favorite. Fresh tomatoes, lots of cheese and fresh basil; especially good on an excellent crust.

My favorite local (Staunch Democratic Owners) Italian place makes excellent pizza and do a great crust. Their Margarita pizza is a winner. (also it is BOB, so when we have a crowd there is a lot of wine to sample)

Pineapple belongs in desserts, with cottage cheese, or just to eat by itself. Not on pizza.

[debm55]

158. Thank you very much for your opinion. yellowdogintexas.

[Dem2theMax]

159. No. Instead of pineapple, cashews.

Cashew Pizza. It's a thing where I used to live. Every pizza parlor has it, whether it's a mom and pop or a brand name.

Goes best on plain cheese pizza. Get yourself a bag of salted cashews. Take them to your favorite pizza place. Ask them to put them on your pizza.

*Pro tip - cashews must go under the cheese, or they will burn.

Yum!!!

[debm55]

161. Thank you Dem2theMax.

[Dulcinea]

164. Sounds gross to me.

But my daughter loves it.

[debm55]

165. Thank you Dulcinea.

[Emile]

166. I like it.

[debm55]

168. Thank you Emile.

[tanyev]

167. I mean, I like pineapple. And I like pizza.

I just don’t see any reason to combine them. But then, I’m not a big fan of any fruit invading something savory.

You just stay over there, fruit, and I’ll enjoy you AFTER I’ve eaten the main meal, OK?

[debm55]

169. Thank you tanyev. I agree. But I will try first to make my decision

[Different Drummer]

170. I like both pineapple and pizza.

When I first heard of people eating pineapple on pizza, I dismissed it as "two great tastes that might not taste so great together." Then, one time when I was eating pizza, I put some pineapple slices that I had on the pizza and ate it. My previous opinion of them maybe not tasting so great together was dispelled at that moment. I now love them together.

[debm55]

171. Great post Different Drummer. Thank you.
