Beans on pizza? Really? Huh. I think i found the thing i wouldn't want pineapple added to:redface:
There are worse versions, for some reason dominos and other chains think that is a good a idea to use mexican food ingredients on a pizza, it just look gross, imagine a mexican dish, and then toss it on a pizza, thats how they sell it

My personal favorite...Pineapple, Mozzarella and Garlic pizza.
That sounds really good. And fresh baby spinach would be good on there also i would imagine.

Mushrooms are excellent on pizza though:biggrin1:
Very true.


And i love pineapple on a pizza. It adds a beautiful freshness that cuts through all the heavy meat and cheeses.

I'm a stickler for authenticity. If I'm eating Italian style pizza I want toppings which would be used in Italy. Pineapple would not be one of those toppings so I'm not keen on it.

My usual two topping:

Pineapple and mushroom

close second:

Pineapple and olive


One topping is... you guessed it.. pineapple.

I don't know what the hell it is, but something about the pineapple when it's been baked on mozz cheese and sauce just adds an awesome taste.

I'm like pineapple as a standalone topping, but don't you dare try sullying my meat feast pizza with that stuff.

Ok, normally me and my guy are so in tune with each other it is quiet scary. Except for this: He HATES pineapple on pizza. I mean he loathes, despises and detest it. He refused to eat any of a pizza that had come into contact with the pineapple side (my side. Oh and yes I got a horrified look when i requested it on half) He actually cut the ends of his pizza slices off as they had been "contaminated."

I thought it was a bit of over reaction on his part but as I asked my friends on facebook I realized who strongly people feel about it one way or the other.

So I ask you, the people o LPSG, where do you stand on this topic? Is it the bane of your existence or your favorite topping?


Pizza is an Italian classic pineapples aren't which means the 2 aren't made for marriage. What you've been eating is a pauper's version of pineapple upside down cake and I love that cake. I like pineapple just not on a pizza. Pizza should have garlic, onion, cheese, pepperoni, maybe black olives, maybe red & green peppers, maybe sausage, ground beef or pork.

Yuck. I love pineapple, I hate it on pizza. It is disgusting. I like my pizzas to be savory. A little sweetness to balance it is fine, but in my opinion that's the job of a good pizza sauce. Not a too sweet pizza sauce of course.

I don't really care for pineapple on it's own, but as soon as it's used with something else I cannot resist it. I like it on pizza, it's not my absolute-mega-all-time-super-duper-favourite but I will eat it.

I am flame boy. I like pizza. A lot.

There are several wonderful spots in Barcelona where authentic, traditional northern Italian-style pizzas are available. Often they have dry smoke cured (never "cooked") bits of ham crudo, sort of like what the Englsh, Canadians, and 'Mericuhns call prosciutto (a word that just means ham in Italian). Prosciutto cotto is cooked ham. The best place in our pueblo in Spain is called Tuscany and the family that owns the place is from Tuscany. They make pizzas that are just the saltine cracker-like crust drowned in olive oil and covered with fresh herbs, and then they suggest what things to add to that base. Never, however, has any fruit except sun dried tomatoes shown up on their amazing pizzas. Thank you God!

I'm fond of pine nuts, olives, slices of hot sausage (sort of like 'Mericuhn pepperoni), garlic, chopped onions and mushrooms. You have to tell them what kind of mushrooms: boletus that are commercially grown or whatever wild mushrooms are in season. I always ask for whatever is in season and they almost always seem to have butter-yellow chanterelles as the fungus du jour.

The Squeeze is accustomed to a thick pizza crust (fugazza) with cheap provolone and maybe tomato sauce or slices of fresh tomato. Maybe three or four whole olives as decoration. The more Argentines can make their pizza taste like the cardboard box it is frequently delivered in, the happier they are. And to me that's damn odd since more than 10 million Italians immigrated to this country from about 1900 to 1966. The Squeeze's excuse for having fugazza with bad imitation provolone is "How can you taste all of those other ingredients at the same time?"

However, Argentines consider fresh pineapple slices (rodajas) a major rave fave topping on pizza along with canned (not necessarily Maraschino, just canned) or fresh cherries. They add melted dots of their special imitation provolone cheese and leave out the tomato sauce or slices of tomato. It's like a tasteless pizza cookie. Very popular.

Talk to Brazilians about pineapples (ananás). They, better than any other nationality, know how to use them best in cooking and making beach cocktails with crude sugar cane alcohol.
