The ham used on pizzas around here (northeast US), usually isn’t salty enough to work on a Hawaiian pizza. It’s often deli ham, which runs the risk of being sweet, but otherwise flavorless.
Bacon or pepperoni work better. Jalapeno also helps.
Ah, so your objection is only with pineapple. See, I don’t do pineapple on pizza not because I think it’s unholy, but simply because I don’t like pineapple in general. I thought you just objected to ham on pizza on principle; I can’t speak to it as a companion for pineapple.
It’s hard to see where I’d choose it over another topping, but I imagine with most pizzas I don’t really care about ham’s failings.
Pineapple and anchovies might be the two stanard toppings that are really build-arounds. Most other standard pizza toppings seem closer to “do whatever, it’ll be fine”
Yeah, at least online these are all very common opinions. I think the pineapple on pizza opinion is actually the most controversial take he listed.
I’m for it.
I feel about Pizza the way I feel about burgers, put anything you want on there, I’ll try it.
I’ve had a burger with pineapple on it. It was delicious
Right. And don’t topping-shame, bro!
Slightly hotter, but still quite tame take:
Ham is the problem with Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is innocent.
Parma ham and Parmigiano pizza is awesome
What? Ham is like the 2nd best pizza topping after only pepperoni.

Gorgonzola works even better with pineapple, than bacon, prosciutto, or pepperoni
Pineapple on pizza is just people with different tastes. Everyone has their favorite foods and what they dont like…
