The politics of pizza


By Amery Gardiner, published January 23rd, 2022
What belongs on pizza and what doesn’t? Everybody has opinions and preferences on how to top the delicious food. Last week in a Grade 8 Foods class, students made pizza, but during the lab, a heated debate started.

​Pineapple? Olives? Peppers? Mushrooms? All of these toppings are debated upon when it comes to topping a pizza just right. But what do the students of Alpha think?

Regarding pineapple, Thomas Chen says that “It tastes good... but it doesn’t belong on pizza.” 
Personally, I love pineapple on my pizza, and I also enjoy mushrooms. I especially agree with the comment that Rhea Ding-Chen added, “Anything can be on pizza except for olives.” ​

But why put pineapple on pizza, some may ask? Norah Kenward-Richard explains. “It gives some freshness and a little bit of sweetness against all the savory.”
The politics of pizza is a complicated subject that creates great controversy in the world of food, but one thing is for certain: cheese belongs on pizza… right?
