Which side are you on?
If you thought ordering pineapple on your pizza was divisive, just wait until you hear what DiGiorno is cooking up next.
Following the viral success of #PicklePizza, a hashtag that has more than 16 million views on TikTok to date, the fine folks at DiGiorno thought it would be a good idea to bring that creation to life. But, rather than just present a pizza that would surely enrage people who think pickles have no business being on a pizza, the brand is splitting this pizza 50-50, topping the opposite side with pineapple because, sure, let’s make everyone mad while we’re at it.
According to a statement provided to Food & Wine, the pizza is made with “a hand-tossed crust, creamy garlic sauce, and mozzarella cheese,” plus those all-important toppings. While we’d love to say we all get to try it, we can’t. Because DiGiorno knows this is just too explosive for a true mass-market release.
Pineapple on Pizza Is Actually Great, if You Do It Right Instead, DiGiorno will give people the chance to snag one frozen pizza for free at shopdigiorno.goodnes.com via weekly drops. But please note that the website will not go live until September 5, so bookmark the URL for future use.
The pies will be limited to one per person, only available while supplies last, and shipping will only be available within the United States. We are very sure these pickle and pineapple frozen pizzas will go quickly.
DIGIORNO Pineapple Pickle Pizza COURTESY OF DIGIORNO PIZZA If you’re someone who absolutely loves this pizza topping combination (like we do), you can score some pineapple pickle pizza merch along with the pies. That includes genuinely snazzy bucket hats, shirts, and, of course, pickleball paddles.
Somehow, this isn’t the only wild creation to come out of DiGiorno’s headquarters of late. In 2022, the brand released Eggs Benedict Inspired, Sausage & Gravy, and Cinnamon Roll breakfast pizzas, and in July, they dropped the news that pizza vending machines will dispense fully cooked DiGiorno pizzas at places like Walmart and on college campuses around the country soon. However, you’ll have to BYOP (bring your own pickles) for this one.
More than once I have wondered pickles have not been a more regular topping on pizza. Glad they are giving it a try.
There are a couple of local places here that do justice to a combo I like, which is sourdough crust, pesto sauce, sausage and mushrooms.
I turned my neighbors on to it and they order that all the time.
One of said pizza places does offer a pickle pizza, BTW.

No anchovies, LOL!
Great suggestion on the toppings. I make a mean Kale Pesto. ;)
I started with this recipe, but I always add lemon zest and the nuts I use are usually 1/2 pine nuts and 1/2 walnuts.

(Pepitas are roasted Sunflower Seeds.)
Actually, there is a pizza standard dubbed Hawaiian that is quite good.
It is a standard pizza with sauce and cheese and ham and pineapple.
The change from say peperoni and sweet Italian sausage and mushrooms is ok on occassion
I’m quite aware of what a Hawaiian pizza is. And I still stand by my original statement. I’m quite fine with pineapple as long as it’s in a bowl and not on the pizza itself. I know a few people who are quite fine with fruit on top of a pizza. I’m not one of those people.
I buy a Digorno or Palermo cheese pizza and put my own toppings on with extra tomato sauce. They turn out pretty well.
If you like a Pizza topped with both pineapple and pickle you know your taste buds are dead.
Feel free to eat s**t with a dirty spoon your at the point of no return anyway.
