Pizza Of The Week (4)

It is a pizza topping combination that divides the nation – pineapple with ham. A YouGov poll conducted in 2017 found that while 84% of Britons liked pizza and 82% pineapple, only 53% liked pineapple on pizza.

Now a pizza restaurant in Norwich, Lupa Pizza, is taking positive action to deter its customers from ordering this flavour combination by charging £100 for a Hawaiian. While reluctantly adding it to their takeaway menu in response to customer requests, the co-owner, Francis Woolf, claims that adding pineapple is tantamount to sullying their pizzas while the head chef, Quin Jianoran, said he would rather stick a strawberry on top.

Sam Panopoulos, a restaurateur in Ontario, is credited with the starting the craze for adding pineapple to a pizza in the 1960, calling it a Hawaiian after the brand of tinned pineapple that he used.

I am with the restaurant; the Hawaiian is an abomination.
