Pineapple belongs on pizza

Few food arguments are as heated as this one. Is pineapple a topping crime or a tasty classic? A light-hearted look at both sides.

Arguments for

Sweet pineapple against salty ham and cheese is a classic sweet-and-savoury contrast found in cuisines worldwide.
The acidity cuts through rich cheese and balances a heavy slice.
Taste is subjective — millions order it happily, and that is the only vote that matters.
Fruit on savoury dishes is normal everywhere else, so pizza is no exception.

Arguments against

Warm, wet pineapple can make the crust soggy and throw off the texture.
Purists argue it strays too far from traditional Italian pizza.
The strong sweetness can overpower more delicate toppings and sauce.
For many, hot fruit on melted cheese is simply an unpleasant combination.
