Exactly. 
There’s a children’s book, The Girl with Silver Eyes, by Willo Davis Roberts, in which the title character is asked what kind of toppings she wants on pizza. She says, “Anything but pineapple.”
I bet apple on a pizza would be great as long as it has a chance to cook down a bit. Pair it with something like blue cheese, yum! Maybe even throw some nuts on it. Probably more as a white pizza. Or with pork. I’m not going to Google right now, but I’d bet there are a good number of places that have and recipes for pizza with apple as an ingredient.
I have had exactly this pizza at a little hole in the wall pizzeria in Paris, not far from Nôtre-Dame. It was excellent.
Pineapple with bacon and jalapeno: sweet, savory, salty, and spicy in one cohesive dish.
It’s too bad that some people don’t have the ability to enjoy more than a couple tastes at a time. They can have my cheese sandwich on white bread (but hold the mayo, we don’t want to get too fancy).
Exactly why I put pineapple on tacos.
I like pineapple on pizza with green olives. Gotta bring that sweet and salty to the maximum levels. But, speaking of strong tastes, I also like black licorice (albeit, not on pizza) which a lot of people can’t stand so maybe I just have strong taste genes or somethin’
There’s a place near me in NYC that is famous for their poached pear & Gorgonzola cheese slice.
I make a caribbean sauce that involves pineapple and red peppers that go great on chicken tacos.
Nice. I was actually thinking pear would be good, as well.
That sounds delicious. I would completely try that.
Damn betcha! Al pastor is delicious!
I don’t care for pineapple on my pizza but it doesn’t offend me that you like it. I think the whole hatred for pineapple on pizza is just a joke that got a bit out of hand.
It balances out the anchovies.
i’ve never had these on pizza and on first thought they don’t seem like I’d like them, or at least, it wouldn’t taste like a pizza. But I’d try peaches and plums, because I’ve put them into savory dishes myself successfully. So maybe apple and pear do taste good and I’m wrong.
Paris pies: Ground pork and veal, currants, and chopped dates. Also absolutely delicious.
There’s a place in New London that offers that combination. We always order one to go with our “normal” pizza.
I guess it depends on how expansive your definition of pizza is and how varied your experience with different types of pizza are. To me, it doesn’t have to have sauce; doesn’t even have to have cheese. Pretty much anything goes as a topping. My favorite pizza I’ve ever had was a Pizza Rosa at Pizzeria Bianco in Pheonix. No sauce, just pistachios, very thinly sliced red onions, rosemary, olive oil, and some parmesan grated over it.
The whole discussion bring back memories of the late 1980s when there was a fad for “31 flavors” pizzas. You’d go into (many, not all) pizzerias and they’d have a chalkboard listing the types of pizza they make:
California (avocado and goat cheese)
Mexican (corn meal crust, jalapeños, taco filling meat, cheddar, sour cream)
Irish (corned beef, cabbage, onions, carrots)
Greek (feta, greek olives, onions, cucumber)
Hawaiian (pineapple, papaya, and whatnot)
Fish Camp (fried trout, collard greens, blackeyed peas on a hush puppy crust)
Middle Eastern (ground lamb, falafel, garlic, lemon slices, tahini, cucumber)
Japanese (sushi, sashimi, wasabi, ginger root slices)
etc
I had a fondness for a few of these neo-pizza offerings and a couple places I liked to drop in on and try some types I hadn’t tried yet or to redo one of the ones I liked.
Then there was a pretty strong counterreaction in favor of “that crap isn’t real pizza, let’s get back to the folks who make the basics really well”, and establishments like Joe’s Pizza in lower Manhattan got their justified recognition, the best plain cheese pizza got celebrated. (And I love me some Joe’s pizza slices, mm!)
The pineapple on pizza “controversy” has more legs than similar food arguments because it’s one of the few situations where someone else’s food preferences can impact your own meal. Unlike burgers or sandwiches, pizza is often shared. You have to get everyone in the group to agree to the order. If you’ve got three people splitting a pie and not everyone in the group agrees about pineapple, you’re going to have an argument.
Important point.
