LONDON (AFP) – A United Kingdom (UK) restaurant has launched a new offensive in the age-old battle about whether pineapple belongs on pizza, charging GBP100 to any “monsters” who want it as a topping.
Lupa Pizza in Norwich, eastern England, usually charges around GBP12 for one of its meals.
But pineapple lovers will now face a GBP100 bill if they want the contentious fruit delivered on their pizza.
The pizza is available on the restaurant’s Deliveroo menu, alongside the caption: “Yeah, for GBP100 you can have it. Go on, you Monster!”
“I absolutely loathe pineapple on a pizza,” co-owner Francis Woolf told the Norwich Evening News, by way of explanation.
The move renewed hostilities in the long-running dispute, with former United Kingdom finance minister Ed Balls even weighing in that pineapple on pizza was appalling.
While the row has so far remained verbal, the restaurant wrote on Facebook on Wednesday that “we are looking forward to an influx of pro and anti pineapple campaigners voting with their feet and wallets! Little scuffle in the street. All televised”.
