to be fair, the pictured does look like a terrible version of a pineapple in pizza.
The biggest issue is the pie having too much water content. You need to drain and press dry the line apple or it will turn into a soupy mess. Also, rings are 100% not the way to go. Need to slice those bad boys up into smaller pieces. Also pineapple does something special to the flavor of mottzarella.
My barometer for a pizza place is a jalapeno pineapple, do fight me if you don’t think pineapple belongs on pizza.
Well it’s a bianca which does seem a little off to me to just remove the sauce element entirely but it seems like he went for just the pure ‘salty and sweet’ play and I think it could work. He grills the pineapple rings to eliminate moisture issues. Overall I think this would be a good pie but the tomato seems so crucial to the whole thing working, but maybe that’s only when ham is in play.
Edit:
As an aside, a recipe for a good party food is to core and hollow out a half pineapple, leaving some meat on the skin, then chop the remainder and lightly brown in a pan with cubed ham, cherry tomatoes and pizza seasoning of your choice (basil is great here), then throw it all back into the pineapple with those little mozzarella balls and broil the whole thing. Serve it with crusty bread. It bops.
There are dozens of us who will fight for the righteous cause in the holy pineapple wars. The evil non-believers must be vanquished!
Pineapple works best on a white pizza base tbh. Tomato and pineapple are eh. Still enjoyable but not as good as pineapple and a boatload of cheese.
Pineapple, green peppers, onions, jalapenos, and if you want a meat, chicken or ham, but NO SAUCE. The sweet acidity plus tomatoes never tasted right to me, but I guessa little BBQ sauce would be ok.
Personally I think the winning move is to grill your pineapple rings to dry them out and ad a little char, then chop them up smaller for the pizza
100% there with you on jalapeno being the way to go. When I bust out my pizza oven my preferred Hawaiian pizza is diced-up and pan-fried spam, grilled pineapple, diced jalapenos, and a drizzle of hoisin sauce. I’ve also been experimenting with mumbo sauce since a few grocery stores around me have started carrying it.
Pineapple belongs in a dessert, not on a pizza. You’re patently wrong and you know it.

What about pineapple fried rice?
I always get pineapples to fry my rice.
This is your reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant in an Italian restaurant in Canada.
Yup.
If it was actual Hawaiian Pizza, it’d have Spam and/or kalua pork with pineapple on top. Maybe some furikake for a saltier taste.

Braaaaaaaah, that’s also the ono kine grinds 👌 I was just making a dumb joke about Hawaiian pizza lol, but a BBQ Chicken Pizza is bomb.
A man of culture
Really? That’s how Round Table does their Maui Wowie. Some kind of sweet and spicy BBQ sauce instead of the normal tomato sauce. They should just replace the Canadian bacon with Spam and it would be perfect.
…inspired by the Chinese sweet and sour food he had been making, named after the brand of pineapples he was using.
It’s good, but remember it doesn’t mean you have to have it on every pizza forever. It blends nicely with jalapenos and white onion to give a sweet and spicy taste, but I wouldn’t put it on a veggie lovers or meat lovers.
Most importantly, no one is making you eat it. If someone else likes it, fuck off and let them enjoy it. This reminds me of the “no ketchup on hotdogs” people. Just let people like what they like.
I like pineapple pizza. I also dunk my fries in milkshake. When I’m feeling hungry I’ll open a ton of sardines and just go heavy on those salty fuckers right there over the sink. And I’m ashamed of none of these things.
For a second I was imagining the sardines on the milkshake, thank God that wasn’t the case.
Don’t give me ideas.
I have a hard time believing most Italians would even consider this as pizza.
Italian ‘Pizza’ difficult to call pizza. It’s more like bread covered in tomato sauce with a little bit of cheese on it.
Bread covered in tomato sauce topped with cheese sure sounds like pizza to me.
That is more likely a pizza margherita. There are italian pizza where they dump shitloads of veggies or cold cuts on it too.
very important article about how italian food snobbery is completely made up: https://www.ft.com/content/6ac009d5-dbfd-4a86-839e-28bb44b2b64c
In this same house, in the 1980s, Nonna Fiore once served some English guests lasagna, per my uncle’s request. The lasagna was cooked from frozen, her story goes. Life was busy and, anyway, she had no qualms about serving a supermarket ready meal; people could only dream of such a luxury during the war. None of the guests suspected that she hadn’t made it from scratch and everyone was delighted, her Italian son included. She reminds me of this, then looks up at me and winks.

Bullshit. Did this author ever try a 1980s frozen lasagna? They absolutely could tell, they just didn’t want to offend her.
Either that or Nonna’s lasagna was pretty awful anyways.

Add some vegan meat and people will riot.
Vegan pepperoni and other pizza meats becoming standard options would be very very nice, shits come a long way, too, I bet it would work
Maybe not in Italy though. There was this whole thing about it and the government banned it lol.
Pretty sad to see government regulations stifling innovation and limiting consumer choice.
I tried vegetarian sausages pan fried in olive oil once and put it on pizza. It tasted amazing since homemade pizza tastes amazing and pretty much anything pan fried in olive oil does as well.
So in Italy they don’t put sausage on pizza, just hot pepper? That sounds awesome, I love spicy peppers on pizza!
Two factions: those who hate it, and those who are wrong.

I even deliberately put in that oxford comma for once in my life, just to prevent this very “misunderstanding” :)

I’ve seen those English dramas too, they’re cruel.
I try to give fans of Hawaiian pizza the benefit of the doubt. I say that apparently I’ve never had Hawaiian pizza done right. To me, it just tastes like a decent pizza… that somebody decided to add fruit to, for some incomprehensible reason. I’ll laugh at myself and change the topic.
Do you insist on steering the topic back? Want to lecture me on how great “salty and sweet” is? Okay, fine. I’ll suggest putting Twizzlers on there. Or m&m’s. Is that nauseating? Do you think those flavors and/or textures don’t work well on pizza? NEITHER DOES PINEAPPLE, YOU STUBBORN, BORING PIZZA SNOB. SHUT UP ALREADY.
I am glad nothing else in the world is going on so that we can afford to think important issues such as company trying a variation on pizza in a mature market with many options to consumers.
I thought I knew which side of this argument I was on until I saw the picture.
Looks like it’s time for Vesuvius to erupt again.
As far as pineapple on pizza goes, I am firmly Team [LOREM IPSUM] and absolutely will 1v1 anyone irl over it.
