Silly Pig. What YOU eat and what THEY eat need not be the same. Also generalize to preferred automobile. But the shared TV has real potential for strife.
Shall I just copy the comments from yesterday over? Pizza toppings are a leftover disposal. Throw on it what you like and hide it with intense cheese. If necessary even those nasty, salty fishies.
I had my first pizzas in the early 50s. At that time there was no choice in the toppings they served. You always got some anchovies which if you didn’t like them you had to pick out. I wonder how those anchovies would go with pineapple pizzas today?
If anchovy is a bit much for you, pineapple mellows it quite a bit. The style is called “Sicilian vacation in Hawaii”. And Canadians do not have bacon, A. They have nice little ham slices.
“Because anchovies thrive in salty water, it’s obvious they’re salty. To prevent their pungent salty taste, Italians combined the anchovies with cheese and tomatoes to create a Neapolitan pizza. That’s the original anchovy pizza, which may also be called Italian pizza.”
Try this, wafer thin crisp crust coated with cinnamon and sugar, spread with puréed strawberries, a layer of mixed fresh fruit, then hot fudge sauce and sweet cream drizzled over top.
So it’s not really pizza, but it stops the infernal pineapple arguing.
Walmart has a breakfast pizza. It’s made with biscuit dough and has egg, sausage, cheese and a country gravy topping. It’s different and the grandkids love it when they stay over.
I don’t like pineapple on pizza, but I can look the other way while you eat it. Anchovies on the other hand, no, too gross and disgusting.
Pepperoni is the basic requirement for pizza. Real bacon and possibly a bit of onion are good as well, but pepperoni is what makes pizza pizza.
I live in Chicago where they do a lot of ground sausage clumps on pizza, which also struck me as strange when I moved here decades ago. I still don’t understand it.
Anchovies are great. We would get a plate of them on the side at our favorite eat in pizza joint so we could load up slices. Last night I used anchovies in caesar salad.
I worked at a pizza joint in high school. When someone ordered a pizza with anchovies on it the kitchen staff drew straws. The medium straw had to take the pizza out of the oven and cut it, all the while getting a nose full of the stench. The poor sucker that drew the short straw had to make the pizza. Since this was before the practice of wearing food-handling gloves they would have to handle the anchovies with their bare shin. Their hands would reek of anchovies the rest of the night. No amount of washing would remove the odor. Even washing the dishes would not entirely remove the smell.
We hated it when someone ordered a pizza with anchovies.
The year was 1964, Ed and Margie Imo, a young couple with dreams of buying a home for the family, just opened a pizza parlor in The Hill neighborhood of St. Louis, and still run it today, just sans pineapple & anchovies.. As a nod to their business survival, I’m shipped monthly four beauties.. https://www.goldbelly.com/imos-pizza/15190-imos-pizza-4-pack
I have two cousins who, in their youth, only liked cheese pizza. We have yet to learn Pig’s preferred topping, but I’m guessing it’s something more than plain cheese.
Nothing wrong with a Hawaiian Pizza. Hell I’ve had Pizza with some truly odd topping that just worked. (Squid, Venison, Rabbit, Shredded Beef, Alligator, etc.) That being said the only Pizza I truly didn’t like was one I got by accident in Germany. Tuna Fish Pizza. (Think the Canned Tuna.) It just doesn’t work for me.
Now my favorite Pizzas are:Quatro Formagi with plenty of Garlic and Oregano on each layer.Home made, (I have one of the Ooni Ovens) a little Sauce, thin slices of either Peperoni or good Italian Sausage, some fresh Basil and then cover it with fresh grated Mozzarella. (You have to cover the Basil with the Cheese otherwise the Basil will char.)

If anchovies are cooked with a sauce, they lose their fishiness and just add umami.

Whoever invented pineapple pizza and vegetarian pizza needs counseling. Pizza with produce is a serious crime against nature and fine Italian cuisine.

There is no pizza, properly speaking, without anchovies. Eat whatever you like, of course, enjoy it as you will, but you shouldn’t call it pizza.
