A Dubai restaurant has stirred up the long-standing debate over pineapple on pizza by introducing a luxury version priced at AED 1,000. This bold move adds an extravagant twist to the age-old culinary argument that divides pizza lovers worldwide.
The Italian eatery, known for its traditional pizza offerings, has made its stance clear. The hefty price tag isn’t just about offering a premium product—it’s a playful jab at pineapple pizza enthusiasts. The restaurant’s staff even wear uniforms that mock the controversial topping, and the menu humorously references the so-called “Hawaiian crime.”
The message is unmistakable: pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. But if customers insist, they’ll pay a high price for it.
The debate itself dates back to 1962 when Sam Panopoulos, a Greek immigrant in Canada, put canned pineapple and ham on a pizza, calling it “Hawaiian” after the brand of pineapple he used. This simple act unknowingly sparked a global controversy.
Supporters of pineapple on pizza argue that the combination of sweet and savory is a perfect match. Critics, however, see it as a culinary misstep. Now, this Dubai restaurant has made its opinion known with a price tag designed to spark conversation.
While the AED 1,000 pizza features high-end ingredients, its cost is more about making a statement than providing a gourmet experience. The question remains: will people pay to defend their love of pineapple pizza, or will they dismiss the idea and stand by tradition?
This Dubai restaurant has succeeded in making pineapple pizza the talk of the town. Whether you’re a fan of the fruity topping or a purist, the debate is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
