Is it controversial? Pineapple is a common ingredient in salsa here.

Same here. Some like it since it gives nice sweetness. I don't care for it.

On pizza it works with some toppings. Chicken hawaii is great for example

I like mango salsa with fish tacos since it isn’t always so sweet. Pineapple hits different though, but I’m willing to give it a go.

I'm convinced it was never the pineapple which set off their distaste, but rather the shitty ham that comes on hawaiian pizza from some chains.

The pineapple being hot alters the taste a bit. I like Hawaiian pizza, but if I make it at home I put room temp pineapple on it after baking instead of baking it with the pizza because I want the tanginess more than the sweetness.

I have a bigger problem with putting tomato slices on pizzas. They are mostly water so they not only shrivel down to sad little strips but they leave the pizza soggy.

you don't cook the pizza with slices on it. the go on after, or you used pre-cooked/dried tomatoes

cold sliced roma and fresh basil is pretty great on a pizza.

I think this is the crux of my issue. I’m not a big fan of pineapple in general but if it’s paired and made well it can taste good. I’m not always in the mood for it but I’ve mostly learned to order pizza that is difficult to screw up. Similarly, the only times I’ve ordered a pizza with tomato slices they put the tomato and herbs on it before blasting the fuck out of it in the pizza oven so I just don’t order that anymore. You are correct however, I’ve made my own at home and it’s drastically different/better. I just usually don’t want pizza enough to make one. If I’m making pizza it’s for a group.

One time I ordered a pineapple pizza at a cafe/game store with a room where we were staying the night. The person taking my order gave me shit for it when I ordered, after the group ordered, and when they brought out the food.

Not playful banter or little jokes, just legitimately talking about how gross my order was. Chicken & pineapple pizza for reference, I think it was even a named special on the menu.

All that to say, they exist and they are just as infuriating IRL.

Pizzas are like burgers, tacos, and salads to me. I've had enough "fusion" food to know they're just vehicles to deliver the toppings you enjoy. The skys the limit IMO, go nuts there's no rules, do it however you like.

The most "normal" thing on pizza I don't like is corn. I like corn in general but I don't want it on my pizza (although not enough to not eat the slice if someone hands it to me).

But then again Japan puts a lot of odd things on pizza, like canned tuna and dollops of potato salad.

Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, even in human flesh, earning them the nickname "the fruit that eats you back".

Looks like half is just cilantro, cheese, and a tiny sprinkling of pepper flakes, while the other side had that plus pineapple, broccoli, and some sort of roasted potato?

I can get behind the pineapple, though I'd argue that it needs to be grilled. The rest of these nachos seems not very well thought out. Why are we doubling up on the carbs with the potato, everything is cut way too large for nachos, and the flavors don't go together at all.
