True, toppings matters. But it does not decide this debate. Pineapple releases water in the oven, which turns the crust soggy right where it should be crisp. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.Rebuttal7.9
True, pineapple matters. But it does not decide this debate. It is one of the most ordered toppings in many countries. Millions of repeat orders are a pretty strong taste test. That matters because it is what happens in practice, not just in theory.Closing7.2
Pizza was never a museum piece. It is a flatbread that welcomes whatever tastes good, and pineapple tastes good. Remember, the acidity cuts through melted cheese, so every bite tastes lighter than a plain slice. The evidence points one way, and so do I.Closing8.9
Put the pineapple in a fruit salad where it can shine, and let the pizza stay a pizza. Remember, the sweetness drowns the tomato, and the tomato is the whole point of the sauce. The evidence points one way, and so do I.
