There have been several times in my life where pizza was being ordered for a crowd, and Hawaiian was roundly rejected, even before anyone used the word “meme”. I don’t get it.
Were these groups of people you’d consider adventurous or picky eaters? Also, not liking something doesn’t always mean you can’t hear it even mentioned without having a strong negative reaction, which is how I think this issue has now become. It’s like a weird bonding thing for people on that bandwagon
It’s ginned up controversy for fake Internet points.
It definitly got exacerbated on the internet, but I’ve genuinly met some Italians that are super elitist about pizza and literally think of this as crime against their culture.
I don’t doubt that, but if we count all ethnic Italians worldwide, that’s about 140 million (source: Italians page on Wikipedia), out of 7.9 billion humans in the world. If my math is correct, that means Italians account for 1.78% of the world. Vocal minority.
I would never complain about it being served to me at a social gathering. But given the choice of most other canonical topping options, I would never order it myself.
I think the real unpopular opinion here is indifference. Hawaiian pizza is pizza. Pizza is good, so Hawaiian pizza is good. It’s the same feeling I have about a cheeseburger pizza I got from Telepizza in Spain.
It’s pizza. Unless it’s raw, rotten, or soaking wet, we’re going to have a good time.
If cooked properly tho, i ate pineapple pizza and pineapples tasted like canned tomatoes so it was good, i dunno how they achieved it, but it was good, but most people imagine pizza that’ll taste like classic pizza with sugar syrup slapped on it and i can understand that, they just didn’t tried proper pineapple pizza
Hawaiian pizza is good.
Not that it’s the best pizza, or even my favorite. It’s just a fine option.
That whole “pineapple on pizza” meme is incredibly lame
The people who freak out about pineapple on pizza are just a vocal minority. It’s ginned up controversy for fake Internet points.

I’m super picky, but I like Hawaiian pizza, so I don’t think it’s that…
Not everyone is picky in the same ways

That’s not an unpopular option, just a controversial one.
Sweet & Salty is great for pizza 🤤
I just don’t like pineapple period. Puts a lot of cocktails in my don’t drink category which is a shame.
Pineapple and pepperoni is better, because pepperoni tastes better than ham
Actually, I’d probably pick prosciutto.
Damn that sounds amazing, I need to try that

I actually like Hawaiian pizza, I just hate to call it “pizza”. It should have a totally different name.
