Let me guess, you cook your pies in your incinerators? :) So what you’re saying is, you guys are Pizza Nazi’s.

It's unwritten law that you must be from those areas, or Chicago, Pennsylvania, and MAYBE Boston, to be an expert in the subgenre of Italian-American cuisine known as Pizzaology. People born and raised in those areas also excel at arguing over stupid crap that has no basis in logic. MaT, I grew up in New Jersey and New York.

Dude. Come on. Seriously. They ought to put people like you into pizza re-education camps. Mat sez: “I mean, I hate pepperoni, sausage, and bacon.”

All of his points are based on the idea that pineapple is bad in the first place and somehow shouldn't be on a pizza. I asked my girlfriend about this "debate", figured it would be good to actually get the opinion of someone who likes Pineapple Pizza. Her response? "That guy is an idiot. Stop arguing with stupid people" :) Pineapple pizza is pizza. End of story. That guy isn’t making arguments, he’s stating personal preference.

People like all kinds of stupid things, should we just adopt all their standards? Where would it end? I'll tell you where. With people saying Carnosaur 2 is better than Halloween. It's for the good of the people. :D Oh, and do you call the “people like it” arguement a good one? People like all kinds of stupid things, should we just adopt all their standards?

The dude makes good arguments. Two very good examples: "The flavor of Pineapple doesn’t go with any part of a Pizza. Would you eat bread+Pineapple? A Pineapple sandwich? No. Tomato sauce with Pineapple? No. Pineapple with cheese melted onto it? No. Yet for some reason people think it’s a good idea when it’s all put together. It literally boggles the mind! (Owww! My mind is being boggled!) Another reason Pineapple makes a bad Pizza topping is because it cannot easily be removed. Oh, don’t like olives? Simply pick them off. Same with sausage, green onions, whatever. But Pineapple leaves behind all of its juices so if you want to pick it off you’re just left with Pineapple juice pizza, which is pretty much worse than the Pineapple pizza was to start with."

Who are YOU to tell ME what should be on MY pizza? :) Funny thing about the "The flavor of Pineapple doesn’t go with any part of a Pizza" argument....well, um, people LIKE IT, which is why they sell it. So apparently, there are quite a few people who enjoy pineapple with pizza. You anti-topping zealots are drawing a line in the sand that has no business being drawn. Life is about choice, dammit :) The funny thing about this “debate” is that anti-topping defenders can’t seem to offer up an actual defense other than “um…it’s not supposed to be on there”.
