Forget pineapple on pizza, this is the real problem

The dumbest pizza topping has to be sliced tomatoes. It's covered in tomato sauce already, FFS. If there's one thing a pizza doesn't need, it's more tomato. It would be like slapping a piece of toast on it because the crust isn't enough bread. I'm not talking about sun-dried tomatoes; that's a legitimate topping. I'm talking about places that sometimes don't even cook the tomatoes; they just drop them on raw like it's a hamburger. Does anyone actually like this?

For the record, I always order pineapple on pizza if it's an option.

@LeopoldBloom That's why Molly is cheating on you with Blazes Boylan!

@bijouxbroussard But no anchovies, although that hasn't been a thing since the 1970s.

@LeopoldBloom I could be wrong, but I think it’s still done in Italy. (@Elessar ?) But I can’t really say anything about seafood on pizza, I’ve had shrimp on mine. 😄

@bijouxbroussard I think anchovies are an Italian thing. When I was growing up, most pizza places in LA were run by Italians. That's not the case anymore.

There is a gourmet pizza chain here that used to have a pizza with shrimp, it was fantastic.

@bijouxbroussard Anchovies on pizza are definitely a thing and one of my frequent picks, especially in summer

But pineapples, ew
