Yes pinnacle belongs on pizza
Drunk Uncle
You're asserting taste as fact, which is precisely where your argument collapses. Pineapple's sweetness obliterates the savory integrity pizza demands, turning dinner into dessert masquerading as a meal. The umami foundation of tomato sauce and cheese gets sabotaged by fruit acid that clashes rather than complements. Even if you *enjoy* it, that's preference, not justification. Why should texture-destroying moisture and competing flavor profiles override what pizza fundamentally is? If sweetness on savory works, why not chocolate on steak? Where's your principle, or are you just defending a habit you've rationalized as bold?

The pinapple is most of the not even acidic it is toned down to have to sweet and sour taste in your mouth

You're moving the goalposts instead of defending your position. Whether pineapple is "toned down" or not, you've just admitted it delivers sweet and sour simultaneously, which is exactly the problem. That dual assault still disrupts pizza's savory architecture. You're claiming sweetness becomes acceptable because acidity is reduced, but that doesn't address the core issue: fruit has no place dictating a pizza's flavor profile. If the toppings need to be chemically altered to fit, maybe they don't belong there. Why defend pineapple by describing how it must be domesticated to tolerate it, rather than arguing it naturally enhances pizza? That's a confession dressed as a counterargument.
