Pineapple on Pizza: Yea or Nay?

Whoever decided that Pineapple doesn't go in Pizza is just trying to become an authoritarian dictator, using "pineapple on pizza" as their first test of tyrannical influence.

Try chicken marbella. It is a Moroccan like dish with chicken, olives, caper, apricots, and prunes (but I prefer raisins instead).
Sweet, salty, and savory with a sauce that soaks up well with couscous or a crusty bread.
??? No thanks. As Poppy told Kramer, “No! On this issue, there can a be no debate.”
When I used to make my own pizzas I used tomato puree, chopped garlic, sautéed onions & mushrooms, pepperoni, anchovies, much marjoram & basil, finely chopped red chilli peppers, sautéed red/green sweet peppers, a few twists of black pepper all topped with fine mozzarella cheese and a few dashes of green Tabasco.....yum!
One trick, I used to add chopped basil & marjoram to my dough.....makes a huge difference......but as for pineapple.....

Nay, but I get why people like it. Savory/salty and sweet is a great combo but I’m just not a fan of either ham nor pineapple.
pizza = carbs, so they do not exist in my world any more. But, I am always amused at why people get snooty at what other people put on their pizzas.
I recall reading a long time ago-— and a very learned treatise it was!— that posited that pizza was no more Italian than sauerkraut.
But I don't really care where it came from. Sometimes it's "gotta have" other times a ten foot pole is too close.
Pineapple and ham fine sometimes, but prefer sausage and artichoke hearts.
I remember back when I lived in Oregon, "Canadian Bacon and Pineapple" pizza was well known. They weren't too bad, just not my first choice.
Until one of those sailors who went west after 1492 brought some tomato seeds back to Italy, and then years went by before Europeans were willing to eat the fruits of this relative of the very poisonous Belladonna plant, there was no tomato sauce on ANYTHING in Italy. And quite a few of the toppings mentioned above are not native to Italy (or any part of Europe) either.

There used to be a Greek Pizza place down the road from me in college that served feta cheese, pepperoncini, and spinach as the base to all of their pies. Even the sauce and dough was different from what you would know from an Italian-like pizza place. It was the best, and was my first run in with feta. Loved it. But, then he died. But, damn it! You guys have me thinking of pizza... I can't eat the damned things!
I say yes... goes together well. Now Imma throw you for a loop. The best pizza I ever ate was in Warsaw. It was topped with ham and...... cling peaches... discuss..
Ooohh maaan! Bringing trouble to the forum!
I've eaten many weird pizza combinations in Eastern Europe, thankfully I'd forgotten most of them until I read your post
One of the best pizzas I had was garlic olive oil, goat cheese, arugula, toasted pine nuts, caramelized red onion, and drizzled balsamic glaze.
I don't even like Italian style pizza, the bases we use are all a bit more american, so thicker and fluffier. If I ever order pizza I order a non-italian crust, I don't like it that thin. If I eat at an Italian restaurant I never order pizza, I prefer a good fresh pasta carbonara or a ossobuco ?
