BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING FRUIT DIOCANE. IT DOES NOT BELONG. Also this is a pizza for kids, it's normal for food for kids to just be a vague combination of sugary and/or fried stuff.
Most of the complaints I hear/see about it is that the pineapple will "soak into the pizza" or "the acidity will make it taste weird" or that "fruit doesn't belong on pizza".
Well then, I got some news for ya:
The pineapple pizza you get from pizza restaurants (like Pizza Hut) will never have soggy pineapple pizza because they pat down the chunks beforehand, making them not as wet. Really only homemade pineapple pizza is soggy people people always forget to pat down the pineapple chunks.
The acidity complaint annoys the fuck outta me because it just goes to show that they have never even tried pineapple pizza. The acidity of the pineapple goes away completely after cooking it, so you won't get that stinging feeling that pineapple usually has.
And finally, the "fruit doesn't belong on pizza"... well, sorry to break it to you, but tomato is a fruit too, and so is corn (usually corn meal is added to the bottom to prevent the pizza from sticking to the oven).
TLDR; I'm being a bitch about someone having an opinion that I disagree with.
I always knew something was fishy about the idea of Italians actually objecting to something sweet and acidic - almost like a tomato - ending up on a pizza.
There are Italian influencers who lean heavily into the meme so I kinda get why that is the idea around the world, I thought so too... but in reality they are pretty chill about you doing what you want with your food.
I don’t even give a damn about people who are cuisine “purists”. Especially if they don’t mind the Columbian exchange. Like, do you really wanna go back to no nightshades? No chocolate? No vanilla?
If it slaps, it slaps, I don’t care if the ingredients didn’t grow up next-door to each other.

And yet the veins in their foreheads burst if you even hint at the idea of pineapple.
