I honestly thought I was being joked with the first time someone suggested pineapple as a pizza topping. I'd just moved out west, from Pennsylvania. It was nearly 25 years ago, and it seems the whole country has falled to that heresy now.

Much like bagels, once people start getting "creative" with toppings I begin to doubt the integrity of the base pizza.

Make a sandwich, whitey.

But I'm also pro-anchovie-and-pineapple.

Nom nom nom.

Pineapple and pizza = OTP.

What crimes did Barbie commit?

Barbie was generally falsely accused of something or other, either that, or we were playing French Revolution again.

And I like pineapple on pizza, but only in combo with ham. Or maybe Canadian bacon. Gives off a Hawaiian-type vibe.

If you deem Danish pastry pastry and theoretically can be used for pie, then we have a yeasted pastry precedent.

ODed on deep dish in Detroit. No can do.

I think that there is a certain legitimacy to the lateral transfer of flavor from one junkfood format to another. Like, once pineapple got into a cheeseburger, it was going to end up on a pizza, right? And at least, in both cases, they were called "Hawaiian [food-format]". Although I never saw a pizza with teriyaki sauce on it, and I never had a Hawaiian burger with ham. (Although, that would be awesome.)

Now, somebody will come along and tell me that pineapple is not actually native to Hawaii or Hawaiian cuisine. Not the point!!

once pineapple got into a cheeseburger

Whose cheeseburger has pineapple on it? No cheeseburger that exists on any plate of mine.

Roy Rogers used to make a "double R bar burger" with ham. But not pineapple.

I've never heard of pineapple on a burger either. I'd try it. I love a salty/sweet thing. I love pineapple & ham on pizza.
