11	->''"'There is nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza!' Natsuki protested, rather vehemently. Everyone gave her a concerned, 'we're humoring you' smile, save Shizuru, who actually managed to smirk."''

14	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 to some[[note]]Which is 1/3 of people according to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2022_09_09_at_95043_am.png this 2017 online survey]] from Time Magazine[[/note]][[note]]Pineapple pizza is much more popular in Asian countries due to the preference of sweet and savory/sour dishes in Asian cuisine[[/note]]. Pizza typically falls under the "savoury" side of food groups, so adding "sweet" to that flavouring
15	by putting chunks of fruit on it that ''aren't'' tomatoes, peppers, or olives[[note]]These three are considered "fruit" in a botanical sense.[[/note]] and might sound bad on paper. That said, pineapple is still a popular topping in pizzerias around the world, making it the BaseBreakingCharacter of pizza.
16
17	In pop culture, people who do or 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 [[SkewedPriorities death by starvation]] as a preferable alternative. In general though, the way this trope is portrayed will vary [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on the preferences of the author.]]
18
19	Note that, despite the name, Hawaiian pizza is [[NonIndicativeName neither Hawaiian nor Italian in origin.]] It was invented by Greek-Canadian Sam Panopoulus in 1962, who got inspiration from combining Chinese sweet and sour cooking on American pizza, and despite being served in pizzerias for decades since, it didn't rise to prominence in media until TheNewTens. Prior to this, {{anchovies\|AreAbhorrent}} were more commonplace as the popular scrappy pizza topping, especially in TheEighties and TheNineties.

36	-->'''Arlene:''' Garfield, a lot of us '''like''' pineapple on pizza.\
37	'''Garfield:''' (''covers ears'') [[IgnoringBySinging Lah! Lah! Lah! Lah!]]
38	* In one of Creator/StanKelly's editorial comics, he claims the recent eruption of Kilauea volcano was DivinePunishment for the invention of Hawaiian pizza.
39	* ''ComicStrip/{{Nodwick}}'': One strip that ran in [[Magazine/{{Dragon}} Dragon Magazine]] features the crew trying to deal with a dragon by annoying it into leaving its cave rather than fighting it head-on. Artix used his crystal ball to "call" doomsday cultists who wanted donations, a lady selling magazine subscriptions, and finally an order of pineapple and [[AnchoviesAreAbhorrent anchovy]] pizzas. The dragon responded by eating the people and pizzas (Piffany and Nodwick were horrified that it ate the people, Yeagar was horrified that it ate pineapple and anchovies). The pizzas ended up giving the dragon such horrific indigestion that when it tried to breathe fire, it exploded.

42	[[folder:Fan Works]]
43	* In ''Fanfic/CATEAcademyGroupChats'', the Fashion Tech group chat is shown to all dislike pineapple on their pizza, with the exception of [[WesternAnimation/{{Trollz}} Topaz]], who likes the mix of sweet and savoury.
44	* ''Fanfic/HalloweenUnspectacular'': In "Feeling Presidential" from the eighth collection, it's noted that the most notable thing to come out of Ms. Fowl's tenure as president was her appointing Sheen to the Supreme Court, as he was instrumental in settling the great pineapple-on-pizza debate (the final consensus being that it was acceptable).
45	* ''Fanfic/LegendarilyPopular'': When "Newtwo" turns out to like Pinap berries on pizza, that's taken as proof that she's ''definitely'' not a clone of the original Mewtwo.
46	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Various fan arts show this on a couple of occasions:
47	** There are memes, originally spread by artist Jargon Scott, of drawing Princess Cadance as [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/cadance%2527s+pizza+delivery a pizza delivery pony]] or [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/peetzer otherwise obsessed with pizza]]. Naturally, she's gonna have opinions on pizza toppings. In [[https://derpibooru.org/images/1353982 this picture]], she "accidentally" dumps an entire pineapple pizza in the trash, rather than deliver it to the customer. And [[https://derpibooru.org/images/2154789 in this comic]], she reacts with dismay to Queen Chrysalis adding pineapple to a pizza -- although the fact it's [[ComicallyMissingThePoint a whole pineapple, unpeeled and uncut]], probably has something to do with it.
48	** [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/that+pony+sure+does+love+pineapple+pizza Another meme]] involves Starlight Glimmer being a huge fan of pineapple pizza -- apparently operating on the logic that a [[BaseBreakingCharacter controversial character]] is a perfect fit for a controversial pizza topping. In [[https://derpibooru.org/images/1908970 this comic]], she defends pineapple pizza and tries to get Twilight to try some, and winds up in a cardboard box prison for her crimes against pizza. And in [[https://derpibooru.org/images/2247110 this picture]], she torments an anonymous human by adding pineapple to his pizza.
49	** And combining the two above memes, there's [[https://derpibooru.org/images/1945462 this odd comic]], where Princess Cadance trolls Starlight Glimmer by transforming her ice cream cone into pizza. Starlight then counter-trolls by transforming the pizza toppings into ham and pineapple.
50	* ''Fanfic/PineappleOnPizza'': The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' fanfic is about Kyle's mom ordering a pizza for everyone, and Stan is shocked when he sees that it is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin pineapple pizza]].
51	* ''Fanfic/RollOfTheDice'': During a session of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' with several of the [=HiME=], it is revealed that Natsuki likes pineapple on her pizza. It's quite telling that not even [[BigEater Mikoto]] will touch it willingly.
52	* In the ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ShiningAndSweet'' chapter "Dragged Into Drugs", when Von Kaiser orders a pizza, his stepdaughter insists that they don't have pineapple on it.
53	* One of Zeurel's WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} fan animations is based on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo4C-sGm1jo a moment]] from Joel's first ''VideoGame/Tekken7'' stream where he and another player fight as custom characters based on [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 Skeletor and He-Man]], respectively, with Joel whiffing a custom attack that uses a giant pizza as a throwable weapon. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR35EkkB_p4 Zeurel's video]] translates this to Skeletor attempting to torture He-Man via a Hawaiian pizza, only for it to backfire when it turns out that He-Man enjoys it.
54	* In ''Fanfic/ThisBites'', [[TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats the Teenage Deugon Warrior Squad]] all enjoy pizza as their TrademarkFavoriteFood. Each of them has a pizza topping [[DoesNotLikeSpam they dislike]]. Raphey's topping of revulsion is pineapple.

58	* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': This is referenced when Riley and her mother try to get pizza and they end up at a pizza shop that uses broccoli as a pizza topping. Since Riley hates broccoli, Anger proclaims that San Francisco "ruined pizza".
59	-->'''Anger:''' First the Hawaiians, ''and now '''you'''''.
60	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Nimona\|2023}}'': While Nimona, disguised as a little child, tries to kidnap the squire Diego as part of her and Ballister's plan to get evidence of his innocence, he throws many objects at Nimona's face, none of which even fazes her until a slice of pineapple pizza hits her, disgusting her.
61	* ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClankLifeOfPie'': When Qwark starts eating the inhabitants of the Pizza Verse, he recoils when their leader, a pineapple named King Toppings, confronts him, stating how no one likes pineapple on pizza.

65	* A subtle variation in ''[[Literature/CaptainUnderpants Captain Underpants and the Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People]]''. George Beard and Harold Hutchins' {{Evil Counterpart}}s, George Hutchins and Harold Beard, explain in their origin comic that they had their universe's Captain Underpants, Captain Blunderpants, steal them a pizza (which is apparently [[FelonyMisdemeanor the worst crime in the world]]), but then ask [[BizarreTasteInFood where the pineapple is]]. Cue Blunderpants stealing them a single pineapple and slicing it onto their pizza.
66	* ''Literature/{{Coraline}}'': One of Coraline's pet peeves is the food prepared by her father, because [[CordonBleughChef he always experiments with weird recipes]], which she refuses to eat.

Having learned to accept her parents as they are, Coraline eats her slice of pizza -- minus the pineapple pieces.
67	* ''Literature/FredAndAnthony'': Anthony, the best friend of Fred, has pineapple as his least favorite pizza topping.

74	* ''Series/{{Becker}}'': In one episode, Becker was treating a homeless man who was rewriting the bible to add in some extra commandments he thought god had missed. One of them was "Thou shall not put pineapple on pizza".
75	* ''Series/{{Chopped}}'': One special was themed around pizza, with all four chefs being pizza chefs from various parts of the country. One chef [[spoiler:who would end up as the episode's winner]] repeatedly mentioned how he was willing to cook with just about anything other than pineapple. Take a wild guess what appeared in the dessert basket. Predictably, the chef spent almost the whole round complaining about both it and the vegan pepperoni he also had to use.
76	* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'':
77	** In "[[Recap/TheGoodPlaceS1E08MostImprovedPlayer Most Improved Player]]", the various Demons from the Bad Place prank Michael by ordering dozens of Hawaiian pizzas -- "the worst pizza" -- and leaving them in Michael's office.
78	** In "[[Recap/TheGoodPlaceS2E10RhondaDianaJakeAndTrent Rhonda, Diana, Jake, and Trent]]", Hawaiian pizza is used as one of the confections at a Bad Place party in the Museum of Low-Grade Crappiness.

80	* ''Series/HawaiiFive0'': Among his many other complaints about Hawaii, Detective Danny "Danno" Willams mentions the pizza as one of the worst.
81	-->'''Danno:''' I don't care where we are. Pizza and pineapple do not belong in the same air space.
82	* ''Series/StrangerThings'': In "[[Recap/StrangerThingsS4E9Chapter9ThePiggyback The Piggyback]]", Argyle bakes a pizza for the kids and puts pineapple on it. Eleven is initially confused but likes the flavor once she gives it a try. On the other hand, Mike is disgusted at the idea and complains about it even as Eleven tries to get him to eat it.
83	* ''Series/{{The Umbrella Academy\|2019}}'': In the episode "[[Recap/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019S03E10Oblivion Oblivion]]", Klaus and Luther find themselves watching strange documentaries on TV while eating pizza, though Klaus is clearly annoyed by the fact that the pizza is Hawaiian. He spends most of this scene picking the pineapple chunks off his slices and throwing them away. [[spoiler:The twist is that the two of them are dead, courtesy of the big betrayal in the previous episode; while Luther is shocked once he realizes that he's dead, Klaus ([[ResurrectiveImmortality no stranger to the hereafter]]) knew it from the very beginning, and is just irritated by the fact that he's ended up in an afterlife where Hawaiian pizza exists.]]

87	* An AprilFoolsDay article in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' had D&D stats for monstrous versions of gaming snacks (the idea being that if you accidentally dropped them between the minutures, the DM would roll with it). The pizza slice has various toppings that it can use as weapons, but the 10% that have pineapple just instantly cause the characters to panic and flee ("as well they should" according to the article).

90	[[folder:Music]]
91	* 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.

95	* In Episode 6 of the 2024 season of ''Round Britain Quiz'', the Scotland team are given a question in which all the clues are cryptic references to pizza toppings. While they identify the link and most of the clues fairly quickly, they're struggling to remember what cop show had the catchphrase "Book 'em, Danno!" or how it relates to pizza. Until quizmaster Kirsty Lang says it's her least favourite topping, at which point they instantly realise it's ''Series/HawaiiFiveO''.

99	* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': A variation happens in the Integrated Strategies 2 monthly squad story featuring Aosta, Broca, and Chiave (who are from a FantasyCounterpartCulture of Italy). Chiave finds a cookbook full of [[CordonBleughChef unorthodox]] recipes, and takes interest in a recipe for "Siesta-style fruit pizza". Aosta and Broca respond by tying him up and threatening to abandon him at a church and letting the clerics beat his brains out.
100	* The government's dislike of pineapple pizza is implied in ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', with one of the NCPD's wanted posters being for an Animals ganger named Mauler, wanted for "Illegal use of pineapple or pineapple-adjacent products", citing a "Pizza Desecration Act". Which is made even funnier by the fact that "Tofu'd Tuna and Pineapple Pizza" is a commonly-found food item.
101	* ''VisualNovel/ADateWithDeath'': On Night 4, you play a game of "twenty questions", with one of them being your opinion of pineapple on pizza. Grim likes it; whether you agree with him or not depends on which option you pick.
102	* ''VisualNovel/DreamDaddy'': On your first date with Robert, you stop by a pizza place for a bite to eat, where he reveals that he likes pineapple on pizza. You ''can'' disagree with him, but it negatively affects your score for the date.
103	* ''VideoGame/EmeraldWasp'': Archie says he won't judge Leon for being gay, bi, asexual, or any sexuality... but he ''will'' judge Leon if he likes pineapple on pizza. If Leon does say he likes it, Archie is disgusted, and [[spoiler:it actually ''increases Archie's death count'', which will lead to one of the bad endings if it gets too high]].
104	-->'''Leon:''' What's so wrong about pineapple on pizza?! It's just a flavor...\
105	'''Archie:''' You don't get it, man. You can't just put pineapple on pizza and call it a meal!
106	* ''VideoGame/GuardianTales'': One of the [[PoisonMushroom Cursed Artifacts]] found in the KAMA-Zone is the Pie from Hell, which is just a slice of pizza with pineapple chunks on it.

108	* In ''VisualNovel/PerfectMatch'', Hayden (the main character's partner) and Steve (the main character's cousin Nadia's boyfriend) get into an argument about pineapples on pizza. Steve loves Hawaiian pizza, while Hayden hates it and can't fathom anyone liking it. However, Hayden apparently changed their mind by the finale.
109	* ''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.]]
110	* Surprisingly averted in ''VideoGame/PizzaTower''; for a game all about making pizza jokes, it actually remains perfectly respectful of Hawaiian pizza, to the point of having pineapples as collectible ingredients. Heck, one of the Toppins is even a pineapple.
111	* ''VideoGame/Psychonauts2'': In Cassie's mind, Raz encounters a paper knight being in conflict with the paper dragon, the former calling the latter an evil beast that must be vanquished (though making no actual move to attack him), while the dragon just wants to be left alone. Raz tries to defuse the situation by trying to ask what they have in common. Initially, it works, as it turns out that they both love pizza, but when the dragon reveals that he likes pizza with pineapples and ham on one side (and half maidens and cheese on another), the knight reacts in horror and immediately goes back to declaring that the dragon is an evil fiend that must be slain.
112	* Averted in ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' -- out of the four kinds of pizza the player can make (plain, meat, anchovy, and pineapple), pineapple pizza heals the most health (and is one of the highest-healing foods in the game), with anchovy pizza healing the second-most health among the pizzas.
113	* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': In [[VideoGame/Splatoon1 the first game]], the European versions had a Splatfest (an online competition where players pick one of two sides to join and face players on the other side) themed around pineapples on pizza, with the sides being Team Delicious (likes pineapples on pizza) and Team Disgusting (dislikes pineapples on pizza). Team Disgusting won that Splatfest and the character who represented that side (Marie) has a chance of mentioning her dislike of the topping whenever she's spoken to in future entries.
114	* ''VideoGame/WorldsEndClub'': In a flashback, the Go-Getters are sharing a barbecue when Vanilla proclaims about the lack of marshmallows, which she describes is the equivalent of a pizza needing pineapples. Both Chuko and Jennu are quick to disagree with her on that subject.

118	* ''WebAnimation/{{Fazbear and Friends\|Zamination}}'': Purple Guy has Freddy hire his "son" (the Amalgamation) to work at the restaurant, and it does a good job for the most part... until all the pizzas have pineapple on them, which makes all the kids cry.
119	* ''Platform/GoAnimate'': In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_UuWSfI2-8 Caillou Goes to Italy and Orders Pineapple Pizza/Executed/Grounded]], Caillou says that they should get pineapple on pizza. Boris yells at him for such a suggestion and claims that it's an "insult to pizza". When Caillou goes to an Italian restaurant to prove him wrong, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] is infuriated and [[DisproportionateRetribution has two men shoot him dead]].
120	* ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'': A running gag is [[Characters/HololiveJapanGenerationTwo Subaru Oozora]] declaring "I approve! Justice!" when asked about pineapple on pizza. When up against Hololive members who dislike it (e.g. [[Characters/HololiveJapanGenerationOne Aki Rosenthal]]), she'll even use it in taunts, such as, "I'm gonna make you eat pineapple pizza!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn3T7WE5v_s Now in animated form.]]
121	* ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'': In "History Summarized: Hawai'i", Blue says that not only is putting pineapples on pizza an atrocity to nature but calling it "Hawaiian pizza" is a slap to the face due to the icky history concerning the pineapple industry in Hawai'i.
122	* ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4's Mario Bloopers]]'':
123	** In "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mario Waits For Pizza]]", Bowser hosts a party and orders pizza, asking everyone what toppings they want. [=SMG4=] himself asks for pineapple, prompting looks from everyone. Bowser then orders the pizza and reluctantly orders [=SMG4=] a pineapple pizza.
124	-->'''Bowser:''' ''(on the phone ordering pizza)'' Yes, a meatlovers, a vegetarian, a spaghetti and... pineapple... no, it's not for me...Yes, he does have a mental disability.
125	** In "Mario Opens a Pizza Shop", Mario defeats Pepperman by shoving a pineapple pizza in his mouth. Pepperman declares that it "tastes like shit" before exploding.
126	** During the escape in "War of the Fat Italians 2023", [=SMG4=] tries to fool Mario by claiming he and [=SMG3=] are pizza delivery guys and giving him a pizza box. Mario buys it until he looks inside and sees that the pizza has pineapple on it. Noticeably, [=SMG4=] got this pizza from a trash can.

Ironically, the two nuns on the upper right don't seem to mind it that much and are shown to be proud of her doing so, and some HypocriticalHumor is involved with the Froggy Nun on the left whose slice of pizza contains a more bizarre mix of toppings such as a banana, broccoli, and presumably chocolate or barbecue sauce.
131	* This ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/6tfkr5/crimes_against_humanity/ strip]], which is a list of the worst crimes against humanity... and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking putting pineapple on pizza at the end]].

139	* An old Polish-language copypasta [[InvertedTrope inverts]] the trope, claiming that pineapple on pizza is the greatest thing ever, and all the "[[NWordPrivileges polacks]]" that disagree have ruined their taste buds with cheap cigarettes and vodka. It goes as far as to claim that Japanese parents are testing their daughters' potential partners by serving them pineapple pizza, and if he turns it down, he's certainly from a pathological household.

145	-->'''Beerus:''' It's an ''abomination'', and I now believe Zamasu did nothing wrong. Why would you put sweet and juicy fruit on top of a salty, delicious pizza?
146	* ''WebVideo/GamesDoneQuick'': During the ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' run in [=AGDQ2020=], the couch commentators discuss pineapple on pizza, which devolves into a sillier discussion on pineapples in general. It ends when a staff member hands the couch an actual pineapple, which stays with them for the rest of the run.
147	* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'': In the "Battle Kid" episode, Arin makes up a story about his friend Mark accidentally ordering him nine pizzas, which Arin is willing to eat until he sees that they're pineapple and ham, as Arin (in this story at least) claims he dislikes ham and is allergic to pineapple.
148	* ''WebVideo/IfEverythingWasLikeAmongUs'': This was brought up in the HalloweenEpisode when Elijah finds a pizza with candy corn on it. The group reacts with disgust while also bringing up that pineapple on pizza is no better. Sebastian is implied to be on this side, while Judah and later on Micah are implied to be pro-pineapple.
149	* Spoofed in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuzTxsVWb3M Pizza con Piña]]" (by the makers of WebVideo/DestripandoLaHistoria), which depicts pineapple and pizza as StarCrossedLovers.
150	-->[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything They say it isn't something natural]]/"Don't mix sweet and salty"
151	* ''LetsPlay/AnalogControl'': While playing ''VideoGame/CarnEvil'', MJTR at one point hypothesizes the haunted food vendors of the titular CircusOfFear probably sell pineapple-topped pizza exclusively. Phoenix, a fan of the topping, objects to this as slander. Subverted as MJTR states he doesn't so much hate pineapple on pizza as he hates pineapple, period.
152	* This Italian hidden camera show has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDUy3Y_w9Tk segment]] where pranksters give people pineapple pizza in place of their traditional pizza (margherita and marinara)...'''''in Naples''''', where pizza originated.
