At a pizzeria in British Norwich, pineapple is not appreciated by the staff.
Therefore, they have now introduced a penalty for those who want the controversial pizza.
– We dislike strongly, or rather detest, pineapple on pizza, says chef Quinjianoran.
The pineapple pizza continues to create hot debate worldwide. Now a pizzeria in the British city of Norwich has shown where they are on the issue – by introducing a penalty for those who order such a pizza.
– We don’t understand the thing, but there are people who like it and who want to order. So we thought that if they really want it, they have to pay for it, says co -owner Francis Wolf to Telegraph.
The cost of a home delivery pizza is usually 11 pounds, about SEK 150. But for those who insist on having pineapple on their pizza, the price is 100 pounds extra, ie about SEK 1,300. A reasonable price, according to Francis Wolf.
Arouses reactions
According to the chef, the fee has created shared feelings in the guests. So far, no one has been willing to pay 100 pounds extra.
– I have worked with pizza for eight years and it has always been a thing with pineapple. It is very shared, people either love or hate it. So I thought it would be a good way to engage people, Quin Jianoran tells Telegraph.
Recently, the restaurant has started a vote to let customers decide whether the controversial pizza places on the regular menu.
Pity for Italian cuisine
The pineapple pizza has long been a debated topic, especially in pizza’s homeland Italy. In a survey by the Opinion Institute YouGov 2018, the pizza consignment was named the third greatest sin ever committed against Italian cuisine.
During the Paris Olympics in 2025, the subject was again relevant when Hong Kong celebrated Cheung Ka Longs Gold in the Florett final against the Italian Filippo Macchi. The mocked the Italians who were angry over the loss by posting pictures of pineapple pizzas. The chain Pizza Hut in Hong Kong and Macas also offered free pineapple on their pizzas to celebrate the gold, reported The New York Times.
