Welcome to the first-ever segment of Troublemaker’s Polycrisis Prep School, a special segment of the Troublemaker’s Podcast where we debate the most “pressing” dilemmas of our turbulent times. First on the chopping board:
🍕🍍 Is it acceptable to put pineapple on pizza?
Joining the food fight are the Three Ms—Malemi, Maggie, and Mia.
Malemi is firmly in the no camp—pizza is savory, and fruit (beyond tomatoes[?]) has no place here.
Mia also resists the pineapple urge, despite growing up around it. Nostalgia isn't enough to justify the sweet-savory mix.
Maggie, on the other hand, is pineapple’s loudest defender. For her, it’s the bold contrast—the sweetness of baked pineapple meeting salty cheese—that makes Hawaiian pizza a standout.
It’s complicated. But if the world is ending, maybe the real question is: what wouldn’t you try on your pizza?
Let us know what you think! Is pineapple on pizza a culinary crime or an underrated joy?
