Pineapple can ruin a good pizza!!!

Canadian pizza chain makes controversial decision to eliminate menu item: 'The people have spoken'


After an almost evenly split vote, Canadian pizza chain Bàcaro Pizzeria has decided to remove the highly controversial Hawaiian pizza from its menu.

In an interview with radio show As It Happens, Bàcaro co-founder Tommaso Mulé revealed that 53 percent of voters voted against the pineapple-topped pizza. However, with such nail-bitingly close results, he noted that “it’s still a hot debate even after the poll.”

“When people would walk in the restaurant they would take a look at me and they would either yell, ‘No!’ then just walk to the table or, ‘Yes, I love pineapple,'” Mulé said.

Mulé came to the decision to put things to a vote when he realized how divided his customers were over the idea of pineapple pizza.

“We had the poll because we knew that it was a hot topic to begin with and it was very … controversial,” he said. “We did it because we wanted to see what our clients actually wanted.”

why alienate half of your customer base? If someone wants a Hawaiian Pizza then make it for them. I fail to see the big deal here.

Perhaps this is just some PR stunt.

I'd put pineapple in the chili, and beans on the pizza. If you're gonna do it, do it right.

Oh dear, whatever will trigger the pathetic snowflakes now that pineapple pizza is gone? Oh yeah, people buying toilet paper. That's the beauty of being a snowflake, there's always some new social injustice to turn your attention to.

Or perhaps it's just a publicity stunt meant to gain attention and free advertising from the unbelievably stupid who post threads about crap like this and the chain will be laughing its ass off when a month from now the vote changes and pineapple triumphantly returns.

If I may and mind you I am not questioning your wisdom.....
It comes down to what is right...for example.....
Beans do not belong in real chili unless you call is Chili and beans.....
Well Pineapple has no place on a pizza regardless of what you call it!
There was a pizza joint for many years by my house that would put pineapple pizza on the combination Supreme pizza! The customer went on strike and picketed the Pizza joint until they made pineapple an optional ingredient!

That would be my guess.

Then in a while, they can announce the triumphant return after demand...

While I agree that the idea of pineapple on pizza is truly disgusting, I couldn't care less if they sell it or not sorry. Long as I don't have to eat it.

Of course I've also been known to put beans in my chili !!! :D

We are truly living in the end times.

People are turning their backs on pineapple and pork wedded together as God intended!

And now people are increasing their blasphemy by making chili without beans?

I expect the Beast to arise and enslave us all, forcing us to eat all cheese pizza any day now.
