Looking for Feedback Why are pineapple and anchovy not more popular toppings? Are these the least popular mainstream toppings?
I understand that not everyone is into the saltiness of anchovies, which honestly are not the easiest thing to balance so they don't overpower, but why does pineapple cause such polarization as a pizza topping?
Sweet and savory is a very standard combo across American and even Italian cuisine if you think of like orchard chicken salads or prosciutto and melon? Why does pineapple on pizza rub people the wrong way?
Are anchovies and pineapple either as a combo or just alone or with other ingredients indeed the least popular of standard pizza toppings?
This pic was an utterly delicious anchovy and pineapple slice from a pie that I also had extra cheese I ate today.
