This is something I’ve never had but been curious about...it seems so odd...

[PGR88]

what perverted things one does to pizza in the privacy of one’s home is one’s own business

But when one starts selling pizza with pineapple, corn, russian dressing, etc... that’s when citizens, and the authorities, need to put an immediate stop to the madness.

The best pizza I’ve had was a ‘white’ vegetarian pizza topped with artichokes

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I personally like it, but only with added jalapenos.

I’ve eaten a few in my day. They’re OK. I draw the line at broccoli, though.

I like pineapple a lot and I love pizza. The combination tastes great to me.

I think pineapple compliments pepperoni very well. Ham not so much, so I don’t order “Hawaiian pizza”. Ham never really made sense to me. If it was Hawaiian, shouldn’t it have coconut? Or would that be a “Pina Colada Pizza”?
lol

Should have just stuck with the Greek pizza with feta and greek calamata olives.

[Jamestown1630]

SPAM pizza would be very Hawaiian.

[Jamestown1630]

Yes, broccoli doesn’t belong on pizza.

[AlaskaErik]

Canadian bacon and pineapple is my favorite pizza.

Greek Inventor of Hawaiian Pizza gets a Chile reception. He responds, “Oh? You don’t want Samoa?”

This right after the post about Sweden and putting bananas and curry on a pizza?

Few in Hawaii eat the pineapple and ham thing.

“We just put it on, just for the fun of it [to] see how it was going to taste,” Sam Panopoulos told the BBC in a 2017 interview he gave shortly before he passed away.

Translation: The Guidos whacked him when they found out who he was.

One of the customers decides to leave the restaurant:
“Ph*ket, Man, it’s time to Rome.
I’m Hungary for some Turkey anyway!

Broccoli on a Hawaiian pizza is not bad - as you said - I agree.
Broccoli on a vegetable pizza is OK, but NOT along with pineapple.

Broccoli, red bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, feta, garlic, olives and what-not,
and you have the makings of a very good vegetable pizza!

THEN you are heading in a proper, sane direction.
But MIXING broccoli and pineapple just ain’t correct, in my opinion.

[gundog]

How I found out is a long story, but pineapple on a Polish sausage dog is also a good mix of sweet and savory. Ordinarily, onion and mustard suffice.

[GaltAdonis]

Correction:

“Broccoli on a vegetable pizza is OK…”

[EasySt]

Spam and canned pineapple pizza should be a thing already...
(And probably would be, in a Commie-La Depression.)
