Oh lord, no. Yuck. (I’m a vegetarian, but I do _like_ meat. Canadian bacon, as I recall, is tasty. Pineapple, however, is inedible in any form.) ---

Sometimes. Depending on my mood. (And with sriracha!) ---

> [@](#): > > Do you like hawian pizza, to be defined as having a standard cheese pizza with canadian bacon or ham and pineapple baked on it. > > Yes or no **Yes** As a true cheese only eater, I never would have tried this, except that the crowded conditions at the Student Center at the University of Utah often gave you only two options: 1.) Whatever pizza was up 2.) nothing So I tried a lot of unfamiliar pizzas, and discovered that this wacky combination actually tasted pretty good. The entire Meacham clan eats it, although MilliCal prefers it without the Canadian Bacon. ---

I love pineapple on pizza, especially homemade. ---

No way. I can’t even pick it off. The taste just lingers. The only thing to do with pizza that’s been befouled with ham and pineapple is sprinkle it with holy water and throw it off a cliff. ---

I hate pineapple on pizza and don’t think ham belongs there either. If you offer it to me, I’ll turn Kosher. ---

No! I don’t like heated pineapple, especially on a pizza where meat belongs. ---

Yes. They’re especially good to switch things up, if I’ve had a run of other pizzas. ---

Change one yes to no. 23 Yes 23 No. We seem to run about 50% each way. i don’t think i need to tally anymore. ---

No. Ham is too bland to go with the pineapple: my ideal 3-topping pizza would be pepperoni, bacon, and pineapple. ---

Yes…so long as the pineapple has been cooked sufficiently so I don’t have an allergic reaction to it. :smack: ---

Yes, but a little light on the pineapple. The places around here dump a whole frickin’ pineapple worth of chunks on the pie. A bit of overkill, IMHO. Joe ---

It’s ok if done correctly but not my first choice. ---

Since the tally seems to be done, can I interject a brief hijack on the seemingly California-specific heresy of adding cashews to pizza? Which Circle of Hell did this abomination come from? ---

The reason I polled this was , because when you go to a buffet place that serves pizza. They will have no sausage or pepperoni pizzas there. There is almost always one almost untouched hawaiian pizza. Meanwhile you and everybody else is waiting for the sausage , pepperoni or all meat pizza. After 20 minutes they bring one out and the whole pizza is gone in 2 minutes at the most. The fact that people are waiting for 20 minutes or so for the other’s and the hawaiian is still almost untouched leads me to to think that though 50% polled here say they like it, it’s not something they prefer when choosing. No where’s near 50% at a buffet take it when it’s the only pizza still available. I really expected a lot less people to say they liked it at all. Hawiian pizza comes up in so many threads on this board I wanted to see what the actual like dislike ratio was without a lead in question in the title to bias who responds. Thanks for taking the poll Dopers. Though at this time I don’t plan on tallying this any longer you’re welcome to add your vote. ---

I will take “Flavors that have no business being together for $100 Alex”. Why doesn’t someone just run a special and add sweet relish as an additional free topping so that we can laugh even more at the taste-bud impaired? Do you like my new plaid shirt? I think it really sets off my striped pants. ---

I don’t know – in the pizza places I go to the Hawaiian pizzas are always somewhat consumed, with many missing slices. Even here in Massachusetts, Hawaiian pizza seems popular. By comparison, I’ve never even seen an anchovy pizza out for by-the-slice sale at _any_ pizza joint.
