Fig with prosciutto
Fig and Pig is a great combo for pizza!
Peppers.
Pear works well on white pizza
Possibly with walnuts and blue cheese.

Olives
...tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini...
Passive aggressive 'All your veggies are actually fruits' energy here. I love it :)
This has been a regular debate in my household and I'm with you on this.

Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled "pork", it'd be great on a BBQ pizza.
As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.
What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.
I think it's great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.
Is that what the whole thing is with jackfruit burgers and pulled jackfruit? They're using the byproducts?

Tomato is pretty popular in a sauce form, not a fan of the fruit myself though.
In seriousness, I could see pear being good. Pears on a grilled cheese sandwich is fantastic.
Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:
- fresh mozzarella
- shaved pear
- caramelized onions
- hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
- pistachios
They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.
It's damn fine.
I've seen thin slices of apple or pear with something like goat cheese.

The tomato.
That's about it.
Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
My guess is that it depends on the apple type.
Some apples are better than other to make apple pies without making it soggy, same issue could apply to pizzas.

Banana is a common topping in Sweden. Add some curry and peanuts while you're at it.

White pie with peach, burrata, basil, and balsamic vinegar.
On of my local pizzerias has one with apple and it's actually one of my favorite!
But my number one is the "indian", which is basically chicken, curry, pineapple and raisin

I had a pizza in Mexico with cherries on it and i did indeed hate it.
Fresh cherries, cherries from a can, or the little jarred cherries they put on ice cream sundaes. I need this information to properly set my levels of revulsion.
Pineapple
Olives on a pizza are fantastic if you don't hate olives. Otherwise they may not taste very good at all.
Pair it with feta and capicola for a great time.

Strawberry works, but you've said that already. I believe banana is used in some Nordic country too (not 100% about this)
Gimme some figs on a pulled pork bbq slice with thinly sliced red onions on top, that'd be awesome
artichoke
Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.

Plum with chicken and some bryndza (sheep's milk cottage cheese) was one of the best pizzas I've ever had.
Also apple, tuna, bryndza.
I'm just really longing for some bryndza right now.
Pineapple remains the only sweet fruit I've ventured on a pizza but when you asked this my first guess would have been apple, especially because it pairs so well with pork so I'm surprised that made it to the bad idea category. Did anyone expand on why? I would have thought a pizza with almost any kind of pork but especially thick cut ham would be enhanced by a very sparing quantitiy of thin apple slices. I'd bet even some non-traditional cuts of pork might end up working well, like some thin strips of pork belly.

Pear, gorgonzola and arugula. It was delicious. I ate the whole thing and now I'm ashamed of myself.
Mandarin orange slices.
