Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Easy downvote.
Both wrong AND a popular opinion.
Right. I'll take a ham and pineapple pizza (not my first choice, but fine by me), but I still know it's relatively unpopular.
Pineapple on pizza is a natural pairing as the acidity helps cut the fattiness of the cheese. Hence why tomatoes work. Sweetness clearly isn't an issue with pizza sauce, otherwise pizza sauce wouldn't have added sugar compared to marinara. Pineapple functions in a similar way that tomatoes do, but this needs to be kept in mind when using Pineapple.
Pineapple belongs on pizza, but you need to accommodate it with extra cheese and perhaps another salty topping, hence the popularity of the Canada-born Hawaiian pizza.
Don't act like pizza is such a sacred Italian thing anyhow. They couldn't make it prior to the 15th century and it took Italian-American immigrants to New York, USA to perfect it anyway.
Edit: I see you previously asked about preferences between Domino's and Pizza Hut, so I'm guessing you live outside of the Good Pizza Zones (the NYC Sphere of Influence and Napoli) so I understand why you're so confused.

We used to have Sbarro out here. They were exactly the same as the pizza I got at some place called Rico's when I was in NYC.
I can't speak to the quality of pizza at this Rico's joint but I would never eat at a Sbarro's. If my options for pizza are Domino's, Pizza Hut or Sbarro's, I simply do not think pizza is on the menu.
This is an unpopular opinion community, not a blatantly false lies community. Please take this utter nonsense to the correct place. I feel both shame and disappointment on your behalf.
Also, corn on pizza is an abomination, this was obviously written by someone from Nebraska who has no sense of what a cultured, exotic fruit like pineapple could bring to their dreary lives of flat lands and grey skies.
Take my up vote anyways as sign of hope that you will one day experience true, sweet and salty Nirvana in your poor Midwestern mouth.
Apologies but I am not american so I don't know where this strange land of Nebraska is to
Fret not foreign friend, even people from Nebraska don't know where or what Nebraska really is.
Tomato is a fruit
Dear God... we've been lied to this whole time
Italians put a fruit on like all their pizza, tomato is a fruit.
They also put Nutella on their pizza...
More pineapple for me.
In Italy that’s not an opinion but common sense.
I like pineapple on bbq chicken pizza
Nah, Hawaiian is good, its not like a Hawaiian with cherries cause that's just fucking disgusting.
In general I agree, but many people seem to like it so 🤷🏻
It can get worse. I have seen a "pizza georgia" with chicken and peach.
