A restaurant has relaunched hostilities against pineapple pizza, certainly put on its menu, but with an exorbitant supplement of 100 pounds sterling (around $175 Canadian) for the “monsters” who want it.
A meal at Lupa Pizza in Norwich, eastern England, typically costs ten times less, but one of the restaurant’s owners, Francis Woolf, told the local Norwich Evening News that he “hated above all pineapple on a pizza”.
This kind of Hawaiian pizza with its topping of pineapple chunks is therefore on the restaurant’s Deliveroo menu, but with this caption: “Yeah, for 100 pounds sterling you can have it. Also order the champagne. Go ahead, you monster!”
The art of the Neapolitan pizza maker made its entry into UNESCO’s intangible heritage of Humanity in 2017, a symbolic inscription, but which rewarded the efforts of the thurifers of this Italian dish for whom the addition of pineapple constitutes a heresy.
The dispute in Great Britain remains at the stage of words for the moment, but the restaurant adds more on Facebook by declaring that it “hopes for an influx of pro and anti-pineapple activists who will come and vote with their feet and their wallets! Some clashes in the street. All this on television.
