"A chewy crust, melted cheese, and a bright tomato sauce - a piping-hot margherita pizza is a winning combo. But additional ingredients are another story. With an infinite number of unique pizza toppings from scrapple to sauerkraut and even reindeer sausage, it's not surprising that some are dealbreakers for even the staunchest pizza lovers. In a playful round of " Hot or Not?," shown on "Today," Ina Garten revealed her opinion of the divisive option of pineapple on pizza and she didn't mince words."
"The Food Network alum and cookbook author isn't the only celebrity that feels that way. Pineapple pizza is also something Gordon Ramsay would absolutely never order. Another notable dissident is Stanley Tucci, who told " Today" that he tried it once as a kid but has since blocked it out. The beloved actor and author of "Taste: My Life Through Food," confessed that "just the thought of it is gross.""
Margherita pizza features a chewy crust, melted cheese, and bright tomato sauce, while additional toppings can be polarizing. Pineapple on pizza provokes strong reactions, with several celebrities expressing disgust and opposition. Some chefs and actors, including Ina Garten, Gordon Ramsay, Stanley Tucci, and Gino D'Acampo, reject pineapple on pizza, calling it gross or inappropriate. Other chefs, such as Alton Brown, support the freedom to choose pineapple as a topping. Critics cite sweetness and added moisture as reasons for dislike. Extremely unconventional toppings exist, ranging from marshmallow peeps to reindeer sausage, highlighting diverse and contentious pizza preferences.
