[Maltinka]

I never had the opportunity to try it, but it looks delicious. hummmm...

 

[Bignev89]

Anyone that has it should be jailed

 

[BS3DX]

never, It ruins the flavor of the pizza.

 

[entry1]

never tried it and never will

 

[lanny]

Have tried it. Not my cup of tea. But I am not on the team that absolutely hates it either

 

[Vidilo]

I may not choose pineapple as my go-to pizza topping, but its sweet and juicy flavor can be surprisingly complementary. I just don't get the irrational hatred toward this little fruit on a pizza. If anything, I'd expect anchovies or tuna to get that kind of grilling.

Now for bonus points, you should combine anchovies, tuna and pineapple on one pizza! ;-)

I don't get the crusade either. Pizza is a leftover disposal dish. So whatever is edible can go on it, as far as I'm concerned.

Chocolate? Whipped cream? Raspberries?

I love it. And I get off to the fact that so many people find it unacceptable. Feels like an enjoyable taboo.

 

[CuChulainn69]

it is goated

That doesn't sound so bad. Although it would probably be best to leave out the tomato and cheese in this case. Then it would become a mock dish similar to spaghetti icecream. (An Italian invention originating in Germany: pass vanilla icecream through a meat grinder and arrange it on top of and around a core of whipped cream so it looks exactly like a heap of spaghetti. Pour strawberry sauce over it and finish with grated white chocolate.)
The base probably needs to be made of a different dough as it must be baked almost to completion before pouring the raspberry sauce over it, adding thin puddles of whipped cream and finally placing thin round pieces of chocolate on the result.

Without tomato sauce and cheese, it isn't pizza at all.

hell will have fun with your ass, once you get there

That's not at all clear. National Italian dishes are a very recent phenomenon, arising after Italy became a country in the late 19th century. And the wide variety that existed before still survives in regional traditions.

The origins of pizza date back to before the first tomatoes reached Europe, so it definitely didn't originally include tomatoes.

The earliest information we have for something that looks like pizza is on a painting preserved in Pompeii. There is a YouTube video in which Max Miller tries to reproduce it:

. It includes cheese but no tomatoes, and it seems raspberries (or pineapples) wouldn't be out of place on it.

But perhaps the best argument is two standard pizzas of modern Italian cuisine:

  is a simple pizza with cheese but without tomatoes. It is a regional specialty of Rome.
• You must be registered to see links
  is a simple pizza with tomatoes but without cheese. It is a regional specialty of Naples.

It makes sense because etymologically, the word 'pizza' seems to be related to the shape, not to any of the ingredients.

That was foccacia. Pizza was invented in Naples MUCH later.

...and according to rumors, the word "pineapple" has it's origin in the mid 17th century, when someone thought it resembled a pine cone, but also looked a bit like an apple.

In Italian it's called ananas, thought to be derived from a tupi word "nanas", meaning "excellent fruit".

But on pizzas? Not my first choice.

Claiming that Pizza was invented in Naples only makes sense if you use a narrow definition that excludes historical uses of the same word for similar dishes. The oldest recorded use of the word is from 997:

Tantummoduo persolvere debeatis omni anno salutes in dies natali domini sive vos sive vestris heredes in suprascripto episcopio tam nobis quam a nostris posteris successores duodecim pizze et una spatula de porco; et unum lumbulum; simul et in die sanctum pascha resurrectionis domini annualiter duodecim pizze et unum parium de pulli.

And in the same way, you have to give, you in person or your heirs, in the Day of the Nativity of our Lord, to us or our successors, twelve pizze and a pork shoulder, and a [pork] loin; and then, in the day of the holy Day of the Resurrection of our Lord, every year, twelve pizze and a couple of chickens.

There is no definite proof that this was similar to modern pizza, but given that the time was exactly half way between the painting in Pompeii and today, it seems very likely that the mentioned pizzas were pizza-shaped (though probably smaller) and with mostly sweet and fruity toppings that may or may not have included cheese. It definitely cannot have included tomatoes, as it was centuries before Columbus.
