But…but… I like Hawaiian Pizza ;_;
Also, bravo, one of my favourite strips for some reason, despite it being all wrong and that hawaiian pizza is awesome.
I’m not miffed over the use of pineapple, it’s that it’s canned pineapple *and he didn’t even drain it*.
Why on earth are you going to cook a fresh, wood fired, artisan pizza and not *at the very least* use freshly cut pineapple is beyond me. Totally with Isabella on this one, the man’s a complete monster.
Just pouring it on the Pizza without draining the can first is probably not a good move. I doubt the fluid is appreciated. However, I think this is a case of Tony acting out of anger over his daughter being a complete dumbass rather than this being the standard way of doing it.
BTW, how set in stone is the ingredients in a Neapolitan respective Hawaiian pizza? I’ve noticed that different pizzerias often have the same name for completely different pizzas.
Called it!
Some of you guys really overanalyze everything.
UGH… Pineapple has no meaning on a pizza…
And if the pizza is a Neapolitan DOP one it is in DIRECT contravention of the Disciplinare di produzione, and that CAN get the pizzeria in serious troubles…
IF with neapolitan it is intended what is usually called pizza Napoli in Italy [Outside of Naples] putting pineapple on it is simply criminal as it is a pizza with ANCHOVIES…
@ Novil:
You MADE us this way.

The pineapple does have a meaning, namely “satisfied customers”. As for pineapple and anchovies, is there an actual health hazard in that combination or is it just some culinary mumbo jumbo that prohibits it?
@ Crystalgate:
It’s culinary elitism. There’s no one right way to do anything, people’s tastes change base on a number of factors including age, culture, class, family background and the like; chefs who insist x is wrong simply because it’s not traditional are just being discriminatory. Of course, on the opposite end you get into cultural appropriation, and that’s an entirely different kettle of fish. But I doubt Hawaiians would call cultural appropriation on Hawaiian pizza; at least on anything other than the name; especially since it was first made in Canada.
@ Novil:
lol
The Psychology of the Pizza, a Highly Debated Topic, by The Sandra And Woo Fan-group, coming to bookstores near you this May!
@ MidoriLuna:
Hahaha, I almost forgot about that. Still unsolved I see.
Customer: “… with pineapple.”
Isabella: “NNOOOOOO!!!”
@Novil you have trained us well to expect the unexpactet at your Comics and we still try to be ahead of you. So over analytic is the only way for us 😛
@ S-Ranker:
me too ._. One of my favorites…
Pineapples on a pizza? As an Italian, I call for mr. Casale to be stripped of his citizenship and be forced to EAT any document attesting the previous citizenship he so brazenly betrayed.
That’s assuming he’s actually Italian and not the descendant of Italians who immigrated in the US that are now looking on their own blood spitting on Italy’s tradition of good cooking.
If Hawaiian pizza is what they ordered, you give it to them. It’s what they’re paying for.
……. God was this a waste of wonderfull drawings.
You couldve had Isabella say “he makes me put pineapple on pizza!” in the last pannel of GoneGirl5…
My favorite pizza is a cross between Hawaiian and Californian.
With a bit of Canada thrown in if you don’t have ham.
Pineapple and pepperoni. Best pizza.
@ lord Martiya:
The true question is whether he’s using San Marzano or Romas. Given that he’s already using canned pineapple I’m fairly certain none of this is going to be truely italian anyway.
But wait, I hear you say, he apparently uses real cheeses!
Perhaps so, however she is cutting that cheese with a knife. That rules out most Italian hard cheeses classically used in pizza, such as your parmesan or romano. It’s not brined or refrigerated, so it’s not a soft cheese like mozzarella. No, ladies and gentlemen, she’s cutting cheddar.
Cheddar. For a pizza. *frustrated sigh…*
@ S-Ranker:
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@ S-Ranker:
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
You know what? Fuck this. I can’t be arsed replying to everyone individually, so:
To all those who like pineapple on pizza:
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I mean, sprouts and chocolate sauce on pizza? Now THAT is art!
It’s worse than I imagined. That’s not pizza, that’s… -shudder-
@ S-Ranker:
Pucchiacca.
I love how controversial this seemingly trivial preference is… of course pineapple on pizza is an abomination, but still 😛
Mushrooms, pineapple, onion, and anchovies is my standard pizza. But dumping them on that way will make it soggy!
Plot twist: Sanda was the one who ordered the pineapple pizza…
Pineapple belongs on other people’s pizzas – if they asked for that awful stuff, they deserve it – and not on mine.
That’s all there really is to say about it.
I mean, if you’re going to put fruit on a pizza, at least have the decency to use tangerines.
While I don’t care for pineapple on or off pizza, I think Isabella should look at the pizza toppings from the 1987 TMNT cartoon if she wants to see a culinary monstrosity like say peanut butter, pickles and avocado.
But I do approve of the pepperoni and marshmallow pizza. Wouldn’t mind a jellybean and sausage pizza either.
Good job with making it so it’s also wrong and yucky to supporters of pineapple on pizza, by throwing on the juice as well. After it’s already cooked!
While I don’t approve of how he handled it, he is right. If someone orders pineapple on their pizza, give them the pizza they ordered.
It could be worse; I’ve heard of Corn, Peas and Ketchup Pizza.
This is entering ‘Good Mythical Morning’ territory.

Pineapple on pizza is horrifying indeed. Meat lover’s is the best pizza.
that man is evil!
@ Keulan:
Need some veggies on that artery-clogger. Green peppers, onions, good cheese and sauce. None of that cheap bottom-shelf junk.
And throw cornmeal, not flour, onto the pizza stone. 🙂
@ Novil: It’s the current standard of being a fan.
Don’t you Pizza-judge me. :c
@ MidoriLuna:
That’s bowling alley fare

Ugh… Stupid mainlanders. The fact that you threw pineapples on something does not make it Hawaiian.

That’s almost Paulista Pizza: peas, corn, palm heart. Very tasty.

“What a farce”
@ Novil:
Speaking of, We’re almost a year away from strip #1000.
Ugh. I hate this pineapple meme.
SOME PEOPLE LIKE THINGS OTHER PEOPLE DON’T LIKE.
SOME PEOPLE DON’T LIKE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE DO.
Get the hell over it, internet.
He handled it extremely rudely, but her father has a point: you give the customer what they ordered, not what you want to make.

Those calling it an abomination, are just in denial. 😉

Technically tomato is a fruit, so people have always been putting fruit on pizza.
