In a final effort to come to a conclusion, we went to Scott Weiner of Scott’s Pizza Tours, an expert on the topic of pizza, who left us with these words of pizza wisdom.
Pizza chefs stage synchronised pizza flare on Oxford Street

“To those who say pineapple isn’t an acceptable pizza topping because it’s not Italian … it existed in Italian food culture long before pepperoni ever did, but nobody complains about that. So many of the popular toppings we argue about are not Italian. Corn on pizza? Buffalo chicken on pizza? Ranch dressing on pizza? Not nearly as much noise about those, but they’re absolutely not Italian items and when they’re treated right, they taste great.

"To those who say pineapple isn’t an acceptable pizza topping because it doesn’t taste good, they probably haven’t had it done right. Raw chunks of pineapple thrown around a pizza? No way. Roasted and pulled pineapple with a honey glaze paired with a fatty pork is delicious. No need for tomato on that pineapple pizza, there’s enough acid to go around.
"I am absolutely pro-pineapple and I think about it the same way I think about most food arguments. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it.”

That's very gracious of him.
I won't. Thankyou.
 
Italian shmalion. Its cheese on toast in a different language and I don't care who the chef is this is the only way pineapple should be prepared for pizza;

1. Harvest the pineapple only in the last week of October.
2. Wrap it tightly in vine leaves.
3. Bury the package 2 feet down in moist soil in a dark area for 6 months so it ferments.
4. Extract the package and toast the cored pineapple over hot charcoal for 30 minutes
5. Dice into 8mm cubes
6. Throw the entire lot in the bin and never go near a kitchen again you utter mutant.
