The co-owner of Lupa pizza expressed disdain for the Hawaiian pizza, stating, "I absolutely loathe pineapple on a pizza." The sentiment was echoed by head chef Quin Jianoran, who humorously remarked, "I'd rather put a bloody strawberry on one than that tropical menace." Their disgust is mirrored by a significant section of British pizza lovers, as evidenced by a 2017 YouGov poll revealing that 41% of Britons dislike the topping.
Hawaiian pizza's origins trace back to Sam Panopoulos, who popularized the topping in Canada during the 1960s. After emigrating from Greece, Panopoulos experimented with pineapple, naming the dish after a brand of tinned pineapple. This fusion cuisine sparked ongoing debates about whether pineapple truly belongs on pizza, with public opinions divided.
