So, a Greek guy in Canada made an Italian staple into something that he thought would represent a Hawaiian cuisine (even though it was just the can, many people naively believe it truly is a Hawaiian dish)
Once someone told me they thought that’s how they ate their pizza over there. Lol.
Nevertheless, if I were in Canada at that time, I would have visited his restaurant and ordered one of the originals. It’s not the best pizza topping but it is also not the worst. (I hate anchovies, fish of any kind or mushrooms on my pizza. Mushrooms are good in other dishes.)
Pineapple gets an outsized amount of attention as a pizza topping for how mid it is. I don’t hate or love it, I’m simply okay with it.
Hawaiian pizza is mid but Jalapeño and Pineapple pizza is S-tier. Spicy and sweet.
I’m not personally a fan of jalapenos, but pineapple and banana pepper is also a really good combo for sweet/tangy.
When I make my pizza I put all of these toppings on 🤐
Add tomato slices and chicken.
I put anchovies on too.
Its like someone put $20 worth of “sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami” nickels in a sock and then hit you in the mouth with it.
While people hate on it for flavor something, idk, I warn people that pineapple retains heat and to make sure that it cools before eating. Pineapple stays burn the roof of your mouth hot longer than the cheese and sauce!
I agree with this sentiment. I feel weird for not having strong feelings about it either way.
I love me some pineapple, and I am not sure if I would say that the combo is greater than the sum of its parts.
