Here’s the guy responsible for putting pineapple and ham on pizza. A Greek guy, of all things. Why couldn’t he stick to lamb and feta?
Sam Panopoulos
They say he was a great guy. He just went too far.
Naaa. We mean no disrespect. To make a mark on our mortal landscape, a lasting legacy, that’s a good thing.
RIP.
Your pizza idea was horrible.
I know…to each their own but, sweetness should NEVER be added to meat. Some love the idea, such as Bar-B-Q, and they are welcomed to it but…..PLEASE, do not put sugar and meat in the same pan/dish if you are serving it to me.
Pineapple is sweet and natural ham is not. Don’t mix the two.
I love Hawaiian pizza. And if you can’t deal with that, then go nuzzle my furry backside. 🙂
A Texan invented Chicago style pizza. That must piss them off up there.
We had a new place open up here called Crust. It’s a Italian
pizzaria and pasta joint ran by a real Roman. A little pricey, but
gotte dayam it is good!!!
The first time my seven year old hit a piece of pineapple
on a pie that my wife ordered I thought she was gonna throw it
at mom. I ended up losing half of my pizza to her. 8(
When I was growing up, my mother used to make the plain tomato sauce and cheese pizza, then top it with tuna, drained, from the can. Put it in the oven… Boy, was it good.
Pineapple is rarely as sweet as it is sour as shipped to the U.S. mainland. Having lived in Hawaii, I know what sweet, ripe pineapple tastes like and it’s way too sweet and rich for me. (BTW, similarly, tree-ripened lemons can be eaten there like oranges. I had two trees in my yard and I ate them right off the tree.)
But, some of us who love SOUR pineapple will take it anyway we can get it!
I bet you don’t like pineapple rounds on the exterior of baked ham either! Pineapple is great to cook with. 🙂
Never tried it although I LOVE pineapple especially mixed with Michigan brand (dry) cottage cheese.

the best seafood pizza and meat galore pizza
I wish Pizza Hut would bring back the taco pizza from the ’70’s.
Don’t think I’ll ever try pineapple on a pizza.
The taco pizza from Godfathers is the one I loved
as a teen in Nebraska, and it was damn good.
Just stirrin’ the pot.
People get territorial over the things they like.
You gonna tell us you like kraft maccaroni
and cheese and sauerkraut on your pies aren’t you?
We had another pizzaria open up here that sells
New Yawk style 16″ pizzas, he sells out every day and
they are to die for. 26 bux for an Ultameat though.
Damn good pies, and they are NewYawk style. It’s called
Tommy’s.
It’s probably 26 bux a slice in New Yawk, so it’s cheap
by their standards.
Fruit on my pizza?!?! 🤢
Hey, turnabout is fair play!
What ‘they’ are doing to ice cream is criminal. When did the whiny babies who complain that their ice cream being ‘cloyingly sweet’ rule? Ice cream is supposed to be sweet, you cloyingly idiotic buffoon!
Here, try this wad of SUGAR on you damn pizza. Now shut up about how “swwwweeeeeeettt” ice cream is, dumb ass.
And if you HAVE to whine, what about that glop of marshmallow on perfectly good sweet potatoes? What about SWEET potato do you not get? Just slab it with butter and eat it like a normal baked potato.
I’ll eat pineapple on pizza if it happens to be there, but I’m looking out for the guy who came up with the idea of ruining a good pizza with stinking anchovies!
Yuk. It’s like sticking fruit in beer. Taint right.
Pineapple pizza is great if you just substitute pepperoni for the pineapple
Pizza preferences reveal a man’s
hidden soul. Ham and pineapple
pizza outs would be serial killers.
I used to eat so much fresh pineapple I’d get acid burns in my throat, put it on a pizza?
I keeel you💥
Lately I’ve been favoring a Buffalo chicken pizza with a Cajun seasoned crust. I don’t even care if the spices make my rosacea flare like I’ve had an acid bath facial. Just don’t put pineapple on my pizza.
Add baked beans to it and a little while later you can listen to hawaiian music.
I love pineapple and ham on pizza, but you gotta’ get the pizza really hot.
Yummy!! Hubby despises it; says it’s an insult to pizza & he makes gagging noises like a small child. Typical man. LMAO!!
On pizza is actually the only way I like pineapple. I don’t like ham on pizza though, I do bacon instead.
The funeral for Sam Panopoulos will be held Monday, June 12th at the London Memorial Gardens at 4:00PM.
Attendance is expected to be light, consisting mostly of people who arrive at the memorial gardens late and find Sam’s funeral to be the only one left.
RIP
He’s surely opened (actually, Mr. Hat did) a debate here.
izlamo delenda est …
Fish and Fruit do not belong on pizza. And the only thing I add to whiskey is ice. And if it is not chunky peanut butter, I don’t want it. I’m done.
Easter isn’t Easter without a Peeps pizza (Peepza).

@Jerry Manderin:
Virtually all pizza has fruit in/on it: tomatoes.
I love anchovies on pizza. It tastes like low tide. Pineapples are gay. Go play with your gay.
I’ll try anything cookable that I like OFF a pizza ON a pizza. To be sure, some things don’t work out well. Having enjoyed eating baked ham with pineapple on it, I had no qualms about my first taste of a Hawaiian pizza, and enjoyed it. I also like anchovies in my Caesar salad, and also on pizza.
But please keep spinach, broccoli, artichokes, and ground beef off my pies. I like those things but not on pizza.
It’s a delicious, classic.
I think its really good, you pizza snobs can stuff it.
Pineapple and BACON, not ham, is good pizza. But the idiot who thinks ranch dressing goes on a pizza when you ask for chicken and bacon toppings needs to be shot. Chicken, bacon and ranch (yuck) on pizza has become a thing in NY and it is an abomination.
Pineapple is just fine… anchovies however…
I’m with TheMule61.
Whoever thought of putting pineapple on a pizza, was a genius.
All hail pineapple guy!
I’m sharing my next pizza with anchovies with Corona. What’s a matta’ you people don’t like anchovies?
