[MattShizzle]

One of them looks like deep dish pizza.

When you have people who dare to call stuff like those a pizza, it's clear that all people don't agree about what a pizza is. And yeah, I could have used the flat earthers example, but it liked more the other one

Pizza hut sold those pizzas with the little hot dogs in the crust. It was just regular pizza, though.
The little hot dogs were tasty, too. As long as they are eaten separately.

These are just different versions of deep dish, it looks like.
The left looks like one that is just multiple layers of pizza in one pan - delicious if cooked right
The right looks like a Chicago style deep dish with sauce on the top - or a lazy lasagna

The bean pizza looks disgusting and what the British would call too rich

 

[Moo?]

I would eat the two deep dish pizzas and the pig in a blanket/seafood/mayo/supreme pizza before I would eat pineapple pizza. I would probably also eat the bean pizza before the pineapple pizza too, mostly on principle though.

If an Italian takes a regular pizza and doubles it in half over itself and cooks it, despite to have exactly the same ingredients, it's not called anymore a pizza, but a calzone. My point is, even if some people may call a pizza these dishes, they are moved enough far away from the original concept to not keep been recognized as it for all the people.

For Chicago pizza it's the same, it may be tasty, I don't deny that, and Americans may call it a pizza, but if you give these pictures to people who is not familiar with that dish and you ask them what is that, I bet they have troubles identifying it as a pizza.

I don't even know how that's cooked, but if you put something liquid over a disc of bread it breaks completely the concept of what a pizza is. It's just beans in soaked bread.
Regarding the taste of that... I like beans and I like pizza, but the two things together... no thank you. What's next? Call a pizza a piece of bread inside a soup?

Why then is Sicilian Pizza square and still a pizza?

Aside from the Chicago one everybody would know these as pizza.
The deep dish would most likely be identified as quiche or pie by someone not familiar with deep dish. (But do you really know about pizza if you do not know about deep dish?)

Just because someone cannot identify something as pizza does not mean it is not pizza... Neapolitan Pizza, Chicago-Style Pizza, Sicilian Pizza, New York-Style Pizza, Greek Pizza, Roma Pizza and so on nowadays nearly every country if not major city has their own style of pizza.
(and most of the are fucking delicious)

And it's the correct view.

 

[plainjane]

I'm I starving? then I'd still consider putting it in the trash.

 

[dirty36]

I will say that Pineapples on pizza is Delicious. But I love pineapple. I actually make pineapple based pickled Eggs. They are freaking awesome.

Because that's barely a pizza but more a sfincione. If I didn't know about them I should identify it as a focaccia messinese. Not all flat breads with topics are pizza, man.

I dare you to go to Naples and show these two pictures of Chicago pizza and ask random people on the street what they think these are. And then tell these people that they don't know what a pizza is, lmao.

hehehe you are just a sfinciuni - phobe finally you show your real face!
(I do not know how far this can be pushed until we break some rule or something so I will stop here - it is all in good fun people)

Also neapolitans will know what it is but are too pizza elitist to admit to it. The issue is not that they don't know what pizza is but that won't admit what is also a pizza.

Best topping for pizza. It's not up for debate.

You misspelled "worst." Back in the 80s it wasn't even used as one. You'd have asked for it they'd have looked at you like you just escaped from the mental hospital.

We didn't have a lot of stuff back in the 80s, I fail to see your point. We clearly are not in the 80s, so your point seems pretty moot.

Back then pizza was overall better. Crust could stand out without holding the pointy end, more sauce, less cheese and the weirdest topping was anchovies. Before that moron decided to make pineapple a topping then we had all these weird, mutant pizzas.

 

[Stelevein]

Well a quick goog

A quick google search shows that pineapple was originally put on pizza in 1962, but it didn't take off until the 80s. Now the resources could be wrong, but it seems pretty accurate to me considering multiple site state the same.

Well, it wasn't something you saw in this area until the 1990s, though around here, most pizza places are independently owned rather than chains. In fact, all the Pizza Huts in the area closed a few years back.

This has become such a talking topic, you can basically call it a fetish now

 

[langy77]

Tomatoes are also fruit. So pineapple pizza is a fruit salad. Just ask mango salsa.

Not thanks. only pepperony
