Pizza’s not even natively Italian. Tomatoes are a New World food.

You are really testing my "don't downvote unless he's being an asshole" rule.

The flavor is fine, I just wish it didnt turn the cheese into slime

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago

I have never had that problem.

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

The weird cheese curdling around the pineapple ruins it for me. It's less pronounced when the pie uses nothing but mozzarella but all of the US pizza chains use cheaper cheese blends. It also helps if the pineapple is relatively dry (no extra pineapple juice dripping all over the cheese to add extra acid) but a minimum wage pizza assembling human ain't got no time for that when they're prepping pizzas fast.

Dominos agrees. And lots of their customers do as well.

Honestly one of the best explainers I've read on the crazy drama.

What does the ideal endgame look like for WordPress? How does any of this accomplish anything?

It strokes the ego of a colossal douche.

That's the whole game.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

So it's like MAGA, except the colossal douche just oversees a FOSS project? LMAO

Automattic really should have trademarked "WP" as it relates to CMS but they didn't so I guess they want those two letters? They are trying to extract money or other support from WP Engine, yet with GPLv2 WP Engine doesn't owe Automattic shit.

It mostly harms small businesses

Mullenweg is a douche for trying to exert control over how people use his open source project. Is it open source or not?

Sir this is the Onion (not)

I like pineapple on a bbq pizza. But a pizza with tomato sauce? I just can't do it. Those flavors clash.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Most of the tomato sauces you buy at the store, and also the canned stuff a lot of pizza places use, all have a lot of sugar in them. It's basically sweet and sour sauce with italian herbs.

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Regardless of sweetness, it's the garlic, tomato, and Italian herbs in the sauce that clash with the pineapple in my opinion.

Besides, I make my own pizza sauce without added sugar, and I don't like the sweeter pizza sauces at certain chains like Pizza Hut.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And it mixes well with ham/bacon.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Also chilli flakes and light salt on cooked pineapple is yum, so spicy meats or chilli pizzas, pineapple goes well too.

It's just one of those excellent compliment foods that goes well with whatever's opposite to it, but not so good with things similar to it.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

So brown sugar is your bridge?

Does bbq substitute bbq sauce for marinara/pizzasauce? Must be or i cant be sure about how one can take out pizza sauce without replacing it to allow for a viable pizza that has pineapple involved

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah exactly, some pizza places offer bbq chicken pizzas etc. with bbq sauce as the base instead of tomato sauce. Now I'm vegetarian so I don't eat bbq chicken, but I'll occasionally treat myself to a bbq pizza with onions, peppers, &/or pineapple.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What other substitutes are available? I always think of marinara as a necessary aspect to pizza lol

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've seen pizzas with alfredo/"white sauce" as a base (not sure if by white sauce they mean bechamel or something else), usually with something like chicken or broccoli, or buffalo sauce on a buffalo chicken pizza, or even something like pesto with mozzarella and tomato. Tomato sauce is the classic option but there's definitely room for some creative options.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I wonder if there is like a vinaigrette style more like italian kinda

Oh man I got to try that. I've never liked pineapple on any pizza I've ever eaten, but this might be good.

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 0 points 5 days ago

TF is a BBQ pizza??
