Apparently the Italian mozzarella association or whatever it’s called officially recommends mozzarella and pineapple as a good pairing of flavours so it’s not just you
Anyone who knows anything about cooking does. The acidity cuts through all the fatty cheese, and it also pairs great with salty meats. It’s only people ignorant of good cooking techniques who say it shouldn’t be done.
Personally though, I don’t care for pineapple that much. It’s too sweet for me. Nothing against it on pizza in particular, just the fruit itself. Still, on a salty pizza, it’s pretty good.
That plus cream cheese is one of my favorite pies. Though I tend to sub ham/Canadian bacon for “regular” bacon as I think the saltier, more savory American bacon plays off the sweet pineapple better than ham which is usually already relatively sweet.
I always feel that good pineapple, well caramelized, can be good on pizza. The problem is the majority of pizza places don’t properly caramelize it, thus why most people never have a chance to try it well made, and thus the strong feelings against it.
At least that’s why I dont usually grab Hawaiian pizza.
I don’t think it has to be caramelized, but that would be good. But if someone uses low quality pineapple it’s going to suck. And you kind know, like if you see a pizza place and your thoughts are “well it’s cheap and quick” I wouldn’t get from there. But, if someone says “OMG, the pizza here is so good”, that’s the kind of place to get it.
Local family pizzeria, yes. Dominoes/Pizza Hut/Pizza Ranch, probably a no.
I’ve got some really good pizzas with pineapple on them, and some really bad pizzas with pineapple on them. Also, there used to be a place nearby that made a really good hamburger with pineapple in it.
Overall, it’s not the existence of pineapples that make food good or bad.
I tried pineapple on pizza, and it’s actually pretty good.
I’ll die on this hill with you fellow person of culture.

My high school used to serve pineapple, ham, and jalapeno pizza. It tasted pretty good.

The ham is the critical part here. It gives the pineapple juice something to work on.
Yep.
The acid from the pineapple and tomato sauce almost pair for the same acid hit and their sweet flavors complement each other.
We like pineapple with doughy things
We like tomato with doughy things
Pineapple and tomato are a shockingly good combo
And cheese makes juuuuust about anything better.
This who say pineapple on pizza ought not exist probably think Italians “invented the tomato” too.
And it’s such a nice compliment to the salty ham
don’t even get me started on how ham and pineapple pair
How do I delete someone else’s post?

Why is this even still a debate?
Because it’s funny on the internet
No
It’s always been good, and people who disagree have never tried it.
You’re not alone.
Based and I will speak up!
Every pizza party I go to I ask for pineapple pizza and I never get it
True, it tastes like pickled tomatoes
The pizza is always soggy…
