Is pineapple on pizza acceptable?

[Morning Glory]

9 December 2017, UNESCO crowns Neapolitan pizza: it is an intangible heritage of humanity. I cannot link the articles because they are all in Italian. Was the news given in the rest of the world?

Yes I saw it. I'll try to find the link.... here is a link:

You don't use tomato in any form on pizza? I think you might like a fig, gorgonzola and proscuitto combination.

Olives are fruits too...

"Pizza e fichi" it's an ancient Roman pizza. Originally it was a simple flat bread ( focaccia base) with oil, figs and prosciutto finely cut mostly eaten as snack. Then has come other variations like adding gorgonzola, but I don't like with it. (Honestly, neither with figs).
Curiously nowaday in Roma pizza e fichi is not so common.

I guess my sense of humor got lost. The majority of pizza in the US has some form of tomato on it. Tomatoes being considered a fruit and Dados1950 implied that pizza shouldn't have fruit on it.

I did get your humour! People forget that tomatoes and olives are fruits. And both are commonly found on pizzas everywhere. It reminds me of once when I was hosting a recipe competition on another forum and set the challenge as 'vegetarian'. Loads of members said they would never eat a meal without meat. Yet it transpired they would happily eat Mac 'n Cheese or icecream or apple pie or Egg Florentine and so on!

A friend of mine spotted a menu in Bangkapi, Bangkok which included durian on a pizza!

I'd try it.

this should be a poll . If vote no. The problem with it is you can't even pick them off. The juice infects the rest of the pizza.

Side note, my son is in the kitchen making waffles for me right now

IDK about the durian. The smell is so off putting.

Arguably one of the most divisive food-related debates: the question of whether pineapple is an appropriate pizza topping is a controversial one. In this report in The Independent, Chef's were asked their views. Here are some extracts - the full report is here: pizza-pineapple-is-it-acceptable-chefs-expert-opinion-a8074571.html




What do you think? Personally I hate the idea of any fruit on a pizza unless its sultanas or raisins on a Veneziana Pizza (Pizza Express).

Yes, I do like and i have tasted this toooo... It taste very different especially.
