Hawaiian pizza is good.

Not that it's the best pizza, or even my favorite. It's just a fine option.

That whole "pineapple on pizza" meme is incredibly lame

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The people who freak out about pineapple on pizza are just a vocal minority. It's ginned up controversy for fake Internet points.

There have been several times in my life where pizza was being ordered for a crowd, and Hawaiian was roundly rejected, even before anyone used the word "meme". I don't get it.

Were these groups of people you'd consider adventurous or picky eaters? Also, not liking something doesn't always mean you can't hear it even mentioned without having a strong negative reaction, which is how I think this issue has now become. It's like a weird bonding thing for people on that bandwagon

I'm super picky, but I like Hawaiian pizza, so I don't think it's that...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not everyone is picky in the same ways

That's not an unpopular option, just a controversial one.

Sweet & Salty is great for pizza 🀀

I just don’t like pineapple period. Puts a lot of cocktails in my don’t drink category which is a shame.

Pineapple and pepperoni is better, because pepperoni tastes better than ham

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, I'd probably pick prosciutto.

Damn that sounds amazing, I need to try that

If cooked properly tho, i ate pineapple pizza and pineapples tasted like canned tomatoes so it was good, i dunno how they achieved it, but it was good, but most people imagine pizza that'll taste like classic pizza with sugar syrup slapped on it and i can understand that, they just didn't tried proper pineapple pizza

I think the real unpopular opinion here is indifference. Hawaiian pizza is pizza. Pizza is good, so Hawaiian pizza is good. It's the same feeling I have about a cheeseburger pizza I got from Telepizza in Spain.

It's pizza. Unless it's raw, rotten, or soaking wet, we're going to have a good time.

I would never complain about it being served to me at a social gathering. But given the choice of most other canonical topping options, I would never order it myself.

I actually like Hawaiian pizza, I just hate to call it "pizza". It should have a totally different name.
