Not necessarily. If I hear “The City,” I think of a part of London.
Well, there is what’s right and what’s right, and then over here, you have ‘favoritism’.
You’re only provincial of you think of San Francisco as “The City.”
The City means (part of) London, despite what New Yorkers and people from San Fran* might think.
* Yeah, I know. And I don’t care.
Take a guess where I’m from? Now take a guess what “The City” means for people in my area.
But seriously. NYC is the largest city in the US. SF is not even the largest city in its state.
I lived in Southern California for 3 years and no one called San Francisco, “The City”. I didn’t even hear LA called “The City” probably as it more closely resembles dense sub-urban sprawl.
That is probably a very local thing or one possibly in your head.

I’ve never heard anybody in California say they are going to “the city”. It’s usually going “downtown”. That said, San Francisco is probably the only large city in California with a fairly well defined border simply because it is on a peninsula.

Well, the names were changed. The story you saw actually took place in London.
For one thing, it simply sounds disgusting. For another, I just can’t resolve the taste of pineapple with the tastes of sauce and cheese. They are simply incongruous in my mind.
It would be interesting to find out how many people who are disgusted by pineapple on pizza have actually tried it.
The pot calling the kettle provincial. 
That is one of the most clownish things I have ever read. If you’re more than 50 miles from the Bay Area, effectively no one would think that you’re talking about SF without context.
So I did a little googling, and conjecture for “The City” as a nickname is as an artifact from the gold rush era, when San Francisco was the only city around. But every reference I found stressed that it’s a locals-only thing.
You need to start your own thread. This thread is about pineapple pizza. Introducing a new topic in someone else’s thread is “hijacking” a thread. Read the FAQ section to see how this place works.
Other than that, welcome!
I did try it and, to me, it tasted as incongruous as it sounds.
You could post a poll. It wouldn’t yield quality statistics, but the results would be a wholebunch better than having people respond individually in this thread.
That said, I’ve tried it multiple times — because sometimes the only slices left at the end of a event have pineapple on them. However, I can’t say I’m “disgusted” by pineapple on pizza, even though the very thought makes me want to scrunch my face.
It may be interesting, but I think it often doesn’t matter. There are those to whom certain combinations of food (or just certain foods) is so psychologically “disgusting” that it doesn’t make a difference whether that person has tried the food or not. Someone with a strong mental aversion is unlikely to be swayed: their preconceived notion is so solidified that a taste, no matter how well prepared, will result in an automatic rejection. One needs to have at least enough room in their predetermined conception to allow a neutral appraisal and the possibility of a reappraisal. Also, related to the previous point, many/most have enough understanding of their own tastes and their own experiences with similar combinations to form an accurate judgment of their own reaction to it. This is not to say that people with strong preconceived aversions don’t change their minds; I just think it is rather rare.
That’s all well and good, but people who don’t like the things I like are just wrong.
Ham and pineapple pizza now part of a trade war between Taiwan (which grows pineapples) and China ( which normally imports Taiwan pineapples but has recently banned them).
Canada supports Taiwan in the fight. Staffers at the Canadian trade mission in Taiwan pose with pix of ham and pineapple pizzas made with Taiwan pineapples:
