    I like pineapple on a bbq pizza. But a pizza with tomato sauce? I just can’t do it. Those flavors clash.

      Most of the tomato sauces you buy at the store, and also the canned stuff a lot of pizza places use, all have a lot of sugar in them. It’s basically sweet and sour sauce with italian herbs.

        Regardless of sweetness, it’s the garlic, tomato, and Italian herbs in the sauce that clash with the pineapple in my opinion.

        Besides, I make my own pizza sauce without added sugar, and I don’t like the sweeter pizza sauces at certain chains like Pizza Hut.

        Also chilli flakes and light salt on cooked pineapple is yum, so spicy meats or chilli pizzas, pineapple goes well too.

        It’s just one of those excellent compliment foods that goes well with whatever’s opposite to it, but not so good with things similar to it.

      Does bbq substitute bbq sauce for marinara/pizzasauce? Must be or i cant be sure about how one can take out pizza sauce without replacing it to allow for a viable pizza that has pineapple involved

        Yeah exactly, some pizza places offer bbq chicken pizzas etc. with bbq sauce as the base instead of tomato sauce. Now I’m vegetarian so I don’t eat bbq chicken, but I’ll occasionally treat myself to a bbq pizza with onions, peppers, &/or pineapple.

            I’ve seen pizzas with alfredo/“white sauce” as a base (not sure if by white sauce they mean bechamel or something else), usually with something like chicken or broccoli, or buffalo sauce on a buffalo chicken pizza, or even something like pesto with mozzarella and tomato. Tomato sauce is the classic option but there’s definitely room for some creative options.
