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.
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
