Pro-pineapple (but anti-hawaiian, should be pep, pine, jalaps) here: I’d try it, but only with chicken and Habeneros if I can, jalaps if they have no habs.
Not on pizza, but a combo to try - Dill pickles with peanut butter. It’s gotta be smaller non-sliced crunchy dill pickles, cold. Peanut butter needs to be the processed creamy kind, with some sugar added. Delicious.
They messed my pizza order up once and I'm not entirely sure what I got, but it had chicken, pineapple and curry sauce instead of tomato. I decided to give it a taste and as weird as it was, it was kind of nice. Nothing I would order again, but I didn't complain either.
This was in Japan. They put raw egg on everything.
Apparently pizza is quite exotic to them, because they cost more than other foods and they had no idea of how to make a regular pizza.
I got the egg thing because I couldn't order anything ordinary, so I asked the waiter for his suggestion and took his word for it. I don't regret doing that but I probably won't order that pizza again.
This is very very very common in Europe (Italy, Germany, …), but every time I mention it to anyone in the US they will look at me like I just told them I like eating car tires or something. My wife only eats tuna Pizza, but she has to make it herself because it is not sold anywhere in the US.
That's peak Pizza for me! Especially with both pepperoni and sucuk (turkish garlic salami that's basically available in every Pizza delivery place in Germany).
My theory on why people don’t like pineapple on pizza is that most of them pair it with sweet ham, so they lose the full effect of the spicy/sweet/salty combo. Pineapple on pizza is amazing, hawaiian pizza is an abberant form that should be removed off menus everywhere and replaced with the true god-king: The PPJ.
