And can you understand why anyone would put pineapple on a pizza?
Yes, most certainly - if they're going to be putting ham on it too. Sadly I'm allergic to yummy pineapple)
Say, I've seen you at another site, (or your doppelganger, at least) - nice to see you here, now.

We used to have a Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat buffet in my neighbourhood. They served both pizza and pasta, and my absolute favourite thing to do was get a plain cheese pizza and cover it in the bolognaise sauce meant for the spaghetti. Most delicious pizza I've ever had

I once saw a documentary on homeless teenagers. They used to phone order a pizza with pineapples. This was before it became popular to eat pizza with pineapples and they did it because they thought it was so disgusting that the pizzaria wouldn't be able to sell it once the orderer didn't show up to claim the pie. And, they were right. The next scene was them eating the pineapple pizza out of the dumpster located behind the pizzaria.

Status : Offline | I find it very easy to resist eating pizza. The tomato sauce gives me indigestion and the cheese is always oily. If I must consume it then it must have pineapple and none of that pepperoni type meat. Any combination of the following is fine: bacon, onion, mushrooms, chicken, avocado, capsicum, brocolli and lovely, yummy, PINEAPPLE.

You're missing out on a lot in life, Caroline.
He (she) who has never had cold pizza for breakfast is inexperienced in the pleasures of... er.. how much nicer real food tastes for breakfast in lieu of having cardboard for breakfast. So there!
EDIT: You can invite me anytime, Mara. We'll buy three pizzas the night before, and save one of them for breakfast! 8-)

Status : Offline | Pizza ALWAYS from non-chains. The "big names" absolutely suck, especially in Greece. Pizza Hut is ok in the US, but still inferior to great local non-chains. Roma pizza, chain in Greece, is also fairly ok, but nothing to write home about.
Some of the greatest pizzas I've ever eaten were in Milan, Italy, in 3 different places that were all superb - with one especially standing out. There is also one very unusual pizza place in Athens downtown too, makes some very bizarre pizzas that are fantastic.
In general, I don't have specific preferences. Sometimes I'll go for plain sauce+cheese, other times I'll load it with heaps of different stuff. Never pineapple or other fruit though...! [smiley=eww.gif]

You and I think alike, Traveller. It's very good cold.

Don't be so quick to judge European food. The difference between food from different regions is huge. Classic Swedish food is almost as different to Italian food as Italian is to Indian. And most country has it's own special food that taste really good. It's also important to note that if you eat food from a different country at a local restaurant, it's usually very different from the real thing. We have a restaurant that serves real Japanese food here, and it's nothing like the regular stuff you find at a basic Japanese restaurant.
As for pizza, yes I like it, but it needs to be done right. The only large chain that we have here is Pizza hut, and to be honest, it's not very good. Prices are ~50% higher than at a usual pizzeria, and the pizzas are both smaller and taste worse than that of a good pizzeria (but of course, if you are in central Stockholm, you won't find a good pizzeria. The good ones are in the suburbs).
There are some really strange things that work on pizzas. Broccoli was an unexpected hit, as was caviar (the "cheap" stuff that you can find in your local convenient store, and not sandwichcaviar). Tuna also works well.
Cold pizza always brings back memories to when I was younger and played roleplaying games over a weekend. We would usually order pizza on Saturday, and eat the leftovers on Sunday. While it does not taste bad, it's hardly a good way to start a day, and at least I usually felt a bit sick afterwards.
Oh, and some pointless knowledge: It's a well known fact that Pizza as we know it has it's origin in Italy Naples to be more precise), but did you know that hamburgers are from Italy as well?

Status : Offline | Aya, I probably won't be visiting Athens until late this year, but I too want directions to that bizarre pizza place (GPS coordinates, if at all possible ).
There was a small pizza place near where I used to live, that had the greatest tuna pizza ever. Sadly, they closed doors . Most chains, like Roma Pizza that Aya mentioned, also offer tuna pizza, but it's much inferior to the one we got from that little place .
Last summer I had an interesting pizza at a pub at Guildford, with smoked salmon and an oily, mayonese-like sauce, over a thin dough baked in a traditional oven. Yes, I like living dangerously .
Other than that, I like pepperoni and mushroom toppings, on the fairly infrequent occasions I find myself craving a pizza.

Well, if you're flying with Ryan air, you'll be landing 15 minutes (by car) from my house. If so I'll buy you coffee on the airport.
That is if you're not coming during the days when I'll be in Amsterdam on the Adventure Gamers forum-get-together.

Status : Offline | If Im gonna have a regular pizza I LOVE pineapple, onion, mushroom and pepperoni. I like pizza hut but for some reason it messes with my stomach. :-/ Pappa johns is pretty good, but theres a mom and pop joint around here called Carminos that has the best pizza IMO. Theres also a restaurant on the corner of our street called Dinas that has a wonderful veggie pizza, with white garlic sauce which I prefer.
Like Caroline, sometimes the tomato sauce on pizza can get to me though.
