Italians are so cucked by the ruling class that they can't enjoy a combination of sweet and salty and acidic flavors. Apparently it's very important in their culture to pretend to be mature consumers whose lives are happily controlled by bourgeois virtues. I think the real "abomination" here is people who are reducing their aesthetic taste by narrowing humanity's wide and expansive culinary palate, just to strengthen the brand for their fascist ideals of national foods https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/8gbqwl/what_is_the_best_two_topping_pizza_combination/dyasmg8/
I'm all for weird shit on pizza, and I can understand people liking pineapple on it, but just can't stand it myself. Anyone who says that it 'cant' be on pizza is a fucking moron though. There aren't any fucking pizza laws.
I've grown up with pineapples and pizza although if I hadn't I probably wouldn't like it either
It's definitely an acquired taste. And yet we don't see struggle sessions about anchovies, which can go from "hey, not bad" to "oh my fucking god, everything in this room stinks of rotten fish" with less than a minute's worth of (over-)cooking time.
Ok this is the hill I will die on, pineapple pizza is not good folks, and I'm no where near fucking Italian
Hawaiian pizza is like Tex mex. Racial violence by wasps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_pizza
Greek Sam Panopoulos claimed that he created the first Hawaiian pizza at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, Canada in 1962. Inspired in part by his experience preparing Chinese dishes which commonly mix sweet and savoury flavours, Panopoulos experimented with adding pineapple, ham, bacon and other toppings which were not initially very popular.[1][2][3][4][5] The addition of pineapple to the traditional mix of tomato sauce and cheese, sometimes with ham or sometimes with bacon, soon became popular locally and eventually became a staple offering of pizzerias around the world.[6] Panopoulos chose the name Hawaiian after the brand of canned pineapple they used.[7]
So not only is it violence against the Pacino people but it's a psyop by the Canadian government on the Chinese?
Here is another Hawaiian pizza from 1957.

We also have a resturant chain in Canada called Boston Pizza, which is just a sports bar that serves garbage tier pizza including very shitty Hawaiian pizza. There's one of these monstrosities in every city and town I've visited in Canada. They have a few locations in the US but curiously not in Boston, probably becuase they would rightly burn it down for stealing Boston Valor.
When I traveled to Italy many restaurants had pizza with French fries as a topping. I tried to get away from tourist areas too and I kept seeing this on the menus. Mature consumers my ass. Like the whole menus are just processed carbs and greasy shit. Where's the vegetables? Maybe I went to the wrong places, but I was seriously underwhelmed with what I was led to believe was world class cuisine.
My wife worked as a caterer up until pretty recently and one of her worst experiences ever was catering a Italian American wedding.
They used garlic instead of shallots in their recipe, 99% of the guests had no problem scarfing it down, however one older woman was disgusted by the garlic not being shallots and in 15 minutes there were half-a-dozen fat New Jerseyans screaming at her in the kitchen for making inauthentic slop as they called it. They then used this as an excuse to refuse to tip.

They would have found something.
Thesis: Italian Pizza
Antithesis: Hawaiian Pizza
Synthesis: Pizza with Pineapple and Gabbagool
Speaking of things that don't give you an experience, that's just about any given Italian recipe. Aside from hand making pasta, almost all of their recipes are like get high quality ingredient and don't fuck it up by getting it to the table. The French and Chinese will take literally any meat or vegetable, no matter how inhospitable or inedible, and turn them into something insanely tasty. Italian cooking has never evolved beyond three basic foods (pasta, sausage, cheese) and remaking those in slightly different ways and then bitching about any deviation therefrom.
Fuck overrated-ass Italian cooking, is my point. There's no skill involved in 99% of their cooking. Hand making pasta is the only impressive thing they do, so they do it thousands of different little ways.
Watching Li Zuqi on youtube has convinced me of the Chinese, and likely all Asian, food transformation powers.
Cheese on bread with sauce is one of the most expected and reductive recipes ever, but it's all Italians have as "culture". I think that's why they claim it so fervently, even though it's basic and doesn't matter.
I can't stop thinking about how fucking stupid this comment is. Leaving aside the issue of whether or not pineapple on pizza is good, saying pizza is "all italians have as culture" is so obviously stupid it's breaking my brain. Literally one of the stupidest things I've read in my life, without exaggeration
That wasn't Italy, those were just people on the same landmass.
OHH! I'll show you kids food. Just gimme the macaroni and gravy ova heaya!
consider tikka masala pizza, saag paneer pizza, butter chicken pizza...
A vegetarian Indian food place near me makes a bomb Paneer Tikka Masala pizza.
People who fight about the type of toppings that can go on a pizza are insufferable dorks. The only pizza-topping issue that is at all important is not putting on so many toppings that the pizza doesn't fully cook as a result. No one wants a soggy undercooked crust.
Ok, now what about buffalo chicken pizza? I love the shit out of some.
