Pineapple on pizza is actually good — you've just been eating it wrong
SalonOf the many pizza debates in America, by far the most divisive, the kind that turns brother on brother and starts ugly fights in otherwise happy marriages, is the struggle over whether pineapple on pizza is good. Searching "pineapple pizza" on Twitter results in thousands of tweets, coming out daily, in which pineapple pizza is both rabidly denounced and cheekily defended as pineapple fans troll the haters by displaying pleasure at this cheese-and-fruit combination. In February, Allison Shoemaker of The Takeout proudly declared, "The Hawaiian Pizza is a thing of beauty," and praising the Australians for pairing pineapple with ham on pizza. It turns out that no one "actually hated" the pizza, though Carman allowed that it might have been a better preparation at We the Pizza in Washington, D.C. than one might get from, say, Domino's. Pineapple and jalapeños work on all kinds of pizza, but are, as the name "stoner special suggests", especially ideal for cheap takeout pizza.
