Prepared properly, this would probably be pretty good
Anchovies for that unparalled umami, thinly sliced pineapples that caramalize in the heat of the oven to add complex sweetness and acidity to cut through the richness of a good mozzarella
That’s why pineapple needs to be in syrup and in chunks before being added to the pizza. Fresh/canned pineapple in rounds is the worst possible choice, because it won’t caramelize in the short time it’s in the oven, and it will water down the sauce with the water it already holds.
You’re right, I’d expect that from a fancier pizza place or if I was cooking a pizza at home. For the kind of pizza joints I love for their Hawaiian pizza? Pineapple chunks in syrup from a bag do just fine.
I cut pizzas and run the window where I work and am in a constant battle to keep things like pineapple cut thin. I’ve gotta cut these pizza whith a wheel and thick stuff like thst just turns it into a snowplow for freshly melted cheese and fucks up the pizza.
Thanks, these are fancy ass pizzas where people are paying $20-30 for an 11inch pizza. It’s not harder work to cut ingredients right, it’s actually easier cause thinner slices mean we use less per pizza and you do the job less often. I’ve been at this gig for almost 3 years now and am at a point where I understand pizza on a whole other level and get reeeeeal specific about how things should be done.
Pre-carmalize your pineapple but do so before slicing. Skin it, blast it with sugar and salt and heave it in the oven until it’s brown. Then it’s caramelized on the outside already and most of the way there for when you cook the pizza so you don’t have to overcook the pizza to get it that way, (source: I do this every 3 days for my job)

Fuck, now I’m hungry
I’ve never had a pizza with thinly sliced pineapples. Always a watery mess

You can also carmalize them ahead of time.

Gotta be real, canned or bagged is just as good if not better.
Hell yeah
And that’s exactly why people hate pineapple on pizza
Like a lot of things, it’s a matter of technique
