In pop culture, people who don't like pineapple pizza are on the front lines. Fans of pineapple on pizza get weird looks at best or outright vilified at worst. Dissidents, on the other hand, will range from picking the pineapple off, to politely declining, to choosing death by starvation as a preferable alternative.

To make a Hawaiian Pizza, all you need is two toppings: cooked ham and chunks of pineapple. Thing is, though, putting pineapple on a pizza can be controversial (or so a VocalMinority would have you believe). Pizza typically falls under the "savory" side of food groups, so putting chunks of fruit on it that ''aren't'' tomatoes and adding "sweet" to that flavoring might sound bad on paper. That said, pineapple is still a popular topping in pizzerias around the world, making it the BaseBreakingCharacter of pizza.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/PineappleOnPizza'' by Majorariatto, which has "Can a video game convey a flavor?" as its {{Tagline}}. The description compares eating a pizza to holding a party in your mouth, stating that the game is about finding a way to ruin it. At first glance, it seems to be the case of NeverTrustATitle, being a TropicalIslandAdventure instead... [[spoiler:up until you jump into an active volcano, causing it to erupt and destroy everything around it. The WhamShot afterwards reveals that the island now looks like a Hawaiian Pizza, with the volcano representing a slice of pineapple. The original version featured in ''Majorariatto Museum'' as a hidden bonus game made the message even clearer, as the line with a text greeting player changes into "[[WhatTheHellPlayer You had to ruin it.]]" In short, the game compares pineapple on pizza to a tragic event that cost many innocent lives.]]

* The song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBpyOpzv3A Pizza Homicide]]" by Samurai Pizza Cats ([[Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats not that one]]) has a chorus all about how pineapple is a sin to put on pizza. In the music video, a couple orders a pineapple pizza over the phone. The pizza chef gets so angry that he slams down the phone, sending the couple a demonically-possessed pizza and an evil pineapple to attack them. The lyrics also say such things like "no pineapples on my pizza, grease and meat is all I need" and threatening to chop anyone who orders it into tiny pieces.
