- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2021
- In the food world, no topic is more controversial than pineapple pizza. But today, Andrew Rea-a.k.a. Binging with Babish-returns to Pizza Wars to do the impossible: Create a fruit-topped pizza so delicious it silences all of the haters (even himself). But will Andrew's al pastor-inspired "taco-pizza" be enough to beat out Nicole's pickled pineapple and Philly cheesesteak-smothered pie? Frank Pinello and Josephine Giordano must risk their reputations as "pizza purists" in order to judge this event and crown a winner.

Does pineapple belong on pizza? Thumbs up if you love it, comment if you think it's an abomination...
I quit my job of 2 years without 2 weeks notice so i can smoke weed on my RUclips channel full time … hopefully everything will work out yo
Yes it does belong on it. But not by myself
Abomination doesn’t begin to explain it, ya heathens.
@@calvinr.johnsonjr.9076 you don’t follow directions
@@ReidGameX never do. I did both so what. The only comments on here is about porn and music so I felt no one followed the rule.
Andrew is 100% confident in that he has no idea what he's doing at any given moment and that's why we love him
not me
Psh you just like him cause he mentioned libertarians.
Me yelling at the TV: "MAKE IT WIDER AND THINNER LIKE A NY STYLE PIZZA SLICE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOLDED!" I think I'm gonna try Nicole's though, that pickled pineapple has me curious
@@richardduarte9118 I mainly don't like his more "relaxed and natural" tone that is more and more prominent in his videos and now got its own series in Botched by Babish. And generally I think he should have just stuck to Binging by Babish, all the new shows were a let down.
@@Firmus777 *were a let down to you*
What Babish did with his pizza, is what we call in Mexico a "gringa de pastor" but, instead of the flour tortilla, he used the pizza dough. That guy is a visionary.
One of my favorite things to eat at taquerias.
noup, we have that exact same thing in Mérida it´s just pastor pizza.
@@parshathy6317 There's pizza de pastor all over Mexico lol I compared it with a gringa because he folded the pizza, just like a quesadilla or gringa de pastor, it could also be a taco de pastor con queso (with a flour tortilla)
@@jimmyzhu1741 Mine too, I love 'em!
until he put pineapple on it.
Here's an idea...small pieces of pineapple, instead of fist sized chunks.
I was thinking the same thing. Lazy cooking
It honestly never occurred to me before this video that folks would use chunks instead of tidbits for a Hawaiian. And honestly now I get the argument. Said people have had objectively bad pizza.
Pineapples big and bulky, if its going in me, thats the way i want it😂😂 couldnt help
Andrew should cooked the pineapple with the pork to mellow it out and give it a delicious fond, the way way taquerias do. It almost seems like he threw the race.
Inna PSSSASS?
"is this the first time you're trying pineapple on pizza, it is for me"
This explains why 99% of people who "don't like" certain foods feel that way. This right here.
Also thinking theyre Italian when they're 100% american the last Italian in their family was 200 years ago
@Ross- A -Roni Maybe people could not talk shit on other people's food choices. People love to jump on the pineapple hating bandwagon, pineapple on pizza haters do not shut up.
@@garretth8224 People love to love and love to hate. They don’t understand other people having food tastes that are wildly different from their own. There’s just something about things like licorice, anchovies, cilantro, bugs, meats (ie. gator, snake, camel, horse, dog, monkey, etc), fruit/nuts on savory salads, pineapple on pizza, french fries in ice cream, etc that just brings out the people who love it and will defend it and the ones who hate it with a passion of a thousand suns. Both camps really want to convince people to their way of thinking. Getting that to stop feels impossible because people want their choices validated by others. They want to feel that their likes or dislikes are “normal”.
Which is hilarious because they said they didn’t like it at the beginning
I've worked at multiple pizza restaurants and pineapple is consistently one of the most popular toppings. Probably because it's absolutely delicious when used properly. 99 times out of 100 people who "don't like pineapple on pizza" have never tried it and just think it makes them cool to hate it. Pepperoni pineapple is fantastic and if you wanna add some black olives and or jalapeño that's even better.
Yep. Ham is actually a bad match. Too sweet. Spicy capicola, pepperoni, or salami are better matches. You want savory and spicy, not sweet.
Ham bacon jalapeños and pineapple :)
Idiots don't drain the pineapple of liquid enough, nor cook it in a hot enough oven. Also, you need to use a very savory; not sweet sauce, and pair with a salty meat, like bacon.
Jalapenos and/or hot banana peppers is what makes a pizza with pineapple amazing imo.
Pepperoni, pineapple and banana peppers are the best pizza toppings.
so the judges never have even tried pineapple on pizza before this?? What a couple of babies.
yep. it's funny how people hate it so much, when they havent even tasted it before...
Yeah, it's just another variation on a popular type of food. People make pineapple into such a big deal.
They said why in the video though. Plus they ended up liking both pizzas, so I don't see the problem really
@@begottenbaker you need to think it from a broader perspective
total babies
I have changed multiple friends/coworkers minds about pineapple belonging on pizza simply by offering to buy/share slices with them free of charge ("if I order one, will you try a slice?"). Pineapple + jalapeno + ham is an absolute homerun of a pizza; a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, savory, and salty.
Some bbq marinated chicken also works really well!
Got one near me that does jerk chicken, ham, bacon, jalapeños, and pineapple
Pineapple and jalapeño hits different every time💫
Amen.
Pepperoni, pineapple, jalapeno and green olive is worth a try if you haven't.
Personally I love pineapple on pizza but I can understand why others don’t. Doing al pastor was smart since it already involves pineapple, but pickling it for a Philly cheese steak is something I never would have thought of but was genius. I want to try both! And like the one judge, Al pastor is my fav taco as well. But Babbish said it best: “either way, we both get paid.”.
I feel like a big reason some people don't like pineapple pizza is because they put huge-ass chuncks on it like babish did. Tiny little cubes are all you need and it improves the texture significantly
Yes tiny chunks are preferred
Wait, you mean to tell me the reason people don't like Pineapple on pizza, is because we got chuckle fucks like Babbish putting entire fucking CHUNKS on it? It's meant to be from a can, regular tidbits. It's why it's called a Hawaiian, cause they got it from a Dole Hawaiian can.
No wonder there's a debate. The actual discussion is how many people are fucking it up apparently.
Sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Works. Sounds weird but try it
@@americannightmare2109 Dude what. I kinda have to try this
FWF: Sponsored by Ooni Pizza Ovens!
Video: Doesn't use Ooni pizza oven.
Sponsorships are fleeting and not everybody will have a pizza oven whereas most people have a regular oven. Makes sense to me.
Nicole gave it away last episode 😂
The stone they cook the pizza on in the oven is an Ooni pizza stone.
Cause the Ooni Pizza Oven is so that she can make pizza in her backyard. At least that's what on the ad
Idk why everyone hates this combo so much. It's not my favorite or anything but it's definitely tasty.
Maybe they never tried it with fresh pineapple
It's great hangover food.
@@LauraTheStrange97 had it in Hawaii with some of the freshest pineapple I’ve ever eaten…still don’t like it, I guess there’s just like a 50/50 flavor palate when it comes to people and pineapple pizza😂
even the idea makes perfect sense. Pork and sweet have ALWAYS been a great match.
It's just people who think being picky about pizza toppings is a personality trait.
I love ham and pineapple pizza, but I wasn't so sure about the pineapple with the Philly cheesesteak. When she said the pineapple was pickled, however, I thought, "now we're talkin'!" because it reminded me of a sweet & spicy relish almost. And now I wanna try it!
The hatred over pineapple is the dumbest thing in regards to pizza ever.
Yeah, I think it's just a silly "rule" that caught on. Most people don't actually hate it.
It's one of those monkey see monkey do kind of thing. Like hating Nickleback or thinking the Marvel movies are amazing. Some people are genuine about those things, other just like to jump on the bandwagons.
Andrew had a great idea to compliment his pizza with matching flavors. Nicole just put an entire Cheesesteak on it + pineapple. I feel Andrew deserved the W.
Shouldn’t have had them fold it like a taco. Just slice it and eat it
@@VillPom It adds flavor , figuratively speaking. But they certainly didn't have to do it.
Nicole just puts peppers and mushrooms on every pizza. Hers are all the same every time
@@VillPom And not have half a fucking pineapple on it. Like they don't seem to discuss too much about why Babbish lost, but I feel like there was just too much pineapple.
If babish made a super thin crust he might have pulled it out.
Would love to have Andrew back as a judge, man he steals the show every time he's on
I need people to stop milking this meme yesterday. Pineapple has, in practice, ruined ZERO of the pizzas I've ever eaten.
This just proves that the whole hate on pineapple on pizza is stupid, because most who complain have never tried it.
Don't just jump on the bandwagon, try one first and get your OWN opinion.
For those who like pineapple on pizza, you’re welcome from Canada for pioneering the idea by inventing Hawaiian pizza.
Everyone knows real Hawaiian pizza has Spam on it
I will stand by this: pineapple pizza is only hated on because it’s the popular thing to do online. If you’ve ever tried a good Hawaiian pizza it can’t be beat, but it has to be done right. It needs to be light on red sauce, use fresh pineapple in small chunks and be paired with either good bacon or semi-crisp ham.
You sir, are on the money....
The key is a salty meat. If you could get a pancetta, or a slightly thickly sliced prosciutto, double-smoked bacon , the saltiness helps offset the powerful sweetness of the pineapple, (which gets even sweeter when cooked). The other solution is to lightly season the toppings just before serving with a little Fleur de Sel, or a smoked artisanal salt.
The first time I ever tried pineapple on pizza, I was working at Little Caesar's, and I also topped it with bacon. I was surprised at how the sweetness complimented the saltiness of the bacon and the acid from the sauce... I don't eat it often, but yeah, it's good.
Honestly pineapple on pizza is a favorite topping, so long as it's paired with ham, bacon, or some other really good pork product. Pairing with chicken or beef not so much. Pork and almost any kind of fruit pair really well. You get the saltiness from the pork going with the tang and sweetness of the fruit. So pineapple makes sense. The only other fruit I would even consider for pizza would be apple. I know it sounds weird but pair the apple with bacon, prosciutto, old forest salami, or some other thinly sliced preserved pork product and damn, it's tasty. Traditional by no means but if it tastes good to you, who cares?
Chicken works too, you just need to add acid and spice - banana peppers or pickled jalepenos. The acid and heat balance out the sweetness in place of the salty meat. Chicken has a very mild sweetness, but also a great texture against the pineapple. It's a common combination in Chinese and Thai cuisine. Pineapple chicken fried rice is delicious.
I live in Italy and I totally wish Hawaiian pizza was more common here. It's delicious but I have to make it by myself because no pizzeria makes it.
Italians hate the idea of it but never have tried it
Lol Italians don't like change
Mama Mia! 🤌
They are scared of the Canadian invented Pizza? 😅
@@NickShootsGuns I tell my friend in Italy, "Don't blame us Americans for this, it's Canadian."
I knew they wouldn't go for Babby's but you can't deny that was super creative and looked really good
When Nicole said Philly Cheesesteak Pineapple Pizza I actually laughed out loud. Brilliant play. Get all the "authenticity" nerds angry at the same time.
Chop that sucker up onto a paella and you'd have the hat trick. 10/10 Nicole!
Hahaha pile on the Chorizo.
Make those purists cry!
"Chop that sucker up onto a paella and you'd have the hat trick"
r/brandnewsentence
And now, the Valencians of the world want your blood! Well done! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see that.
I grew up eating pineapple pizza and it wasn't until I watched a certain episode of Futurama that I found out pineapple on pizza was even controversial. I love it
4:09 why did that bite have so much passion and a touch of lust in it? I felt like he violated that pizza taco lmao
Fairly neutral on the subject on pineapple on pizza. I make a pizza with teriyaki chicken, small pieces of soy sauce glazed pineapple, onions & feta cheese. Very nice combo
Not a fan of pineapple, but your ingredient list has my mouth watering. Feta with teriyaki??? Genius.
That sounds amazing!
Pineapple, sausage, jalapenos and red onion. I throw fresh cilantro and a splash of fish sauce at the end. Love it💖
Pineapple on pizza has only recently become "controversial". Hawaiian pizza was invented in the 1960s. I worked at a pizza place in the 90s and Hawaiian was one of our best sellers. Nobody complained about it until the 2010s, and now people won't shut up about it. Before pineapple became a modern meme, anchovies were the reviled pizza topping people talked about. I don't understand it, did some celebrity say they hated Hawaiian pizza and then everyone suddenly jumped on the bandwagon?
There's always been people who hated it, they just weren't vocal until someone suggested ordering one to share.
Anchovies are pretty much universally hated so it's not contentious now and people love divisiveness.
Probably some famous celebrity hated it and people jumped on the bandwagon. Good thing, here in the Philippines, we love our "Hawaiian" pizza.
like another comment mentioned its just cool to hate for some reason..
This proves my theory that the pineapple isn’t the problem ingredient. Most people only every try a Hawaiian and the reason that doesn’t work is the ham.
Pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeños is my go to but both of these look amazing so maybe I’ll try them.
Why it doesn't work with ham often is the type and quality of ham used.
Dude that sounds like a quality combo! I'm gonna try it the next time I order pizza
Andrew: But now I need to know who's the winner and I need to know right now.
Josephine: HOLD YOUR HORSES
Andrew (immediately regretting it): sorry
so who's gonna be the one to tell him that that's not what "devil's lettuce" usually means
He knows that lol. He calls it such because he does not like the taste/has the gene that makes it taste soapy.
Great now I'm going to be thinking about pepperoni and pineapple pizza all day gosh darn you Pizza Wars lol
Probably wouldn't be the worst. If you like spice, you may prefer it over the normal sweet ham Hawaiians come with.
I throw pickled jalapenos on mine. It goes so well together with the pepperoni and pineapple!
I love this show because the chefs get to enjoy the pizza and share their thoughts before the judges! Everybody wins!
Entertaining as always. However...
I'm not a big fan of pineapple on my pizza but I'm also very confused, especially in times where chefs are putting pretty much everything and anything on pizzas, how pineapple maintains its god-like, meme-level status of inappropriateness. Particularly when considering what a common ingredient it is in savoury dishes all around the world.
its literally just to say you're authentic or above it at this point, pineapple has its place in pizza... just depends on what its paired with. shits good
And most of the hate is just bandwagon hate, from people who have never tried it before.
It reminds me of all the people who say they are horrified by the word "moist". No you don't, it's just a meme at this point.
@@natatatt to those people I like to use the phrase Moister than an Oyster LOOOL
I love pineapple on pizza and find anti-pineapple people tedious and boring. I'm over here living my best life while you're angry over nothing. Congrats, you played yourself! 😂😂
This might be my favorite episode yet
I fucking love pizza wars. Its no hot ones but i love it.
OMG, I'm crying, so funny and entertaining! Thank you!
Before I even started watching, my thoughts were in Nicole's camp. I was more on the lines of short rib in the crock pot all day, shred and sprinkle it on the pizza with crushed pineapple and jalapeños
I've always loved pineapple on pizza, especially with a salty meat and mushrooms. I don't care what people say its going in my mouth not theirs.
One small detail I really appreciate about this show is that they use a typical kitchen oven. While I may never be able to replicate these amazing pizzas, I still feel that I have a shot at it.
The pineapple pizza is a very USA west coast thing. With the right cheese and Canadian bacon it's amazing. If you don't use the right ingredients it's pretty gross so I get both sides of the argument. This was fun to watch!
I’m not gonna lie the pizza ideas were pretty cool. Also the score when Frank and Jo were eating the slices was a really great mix. The first and second ones.
love this show so much
OKAY THAT B ROLL AT THE START THOUGH 👌🔥
That Philly pizza looked phenomenal
"Babish im coming for you!" No he's not it's your show he's coming for you.
Love this show!!!
that Pastor pie would totally work in California with all the Taqueria spots we have out here.
Two of my favorites. Nothing but love for babish
That "Maronn" gets me every damn time
Costco Mexico actually sells Pastor Pizza, with "trompo" (seasoned pork), pineapple and onions
Growing up in Columbus we ALWAYS had Donato's Hawaiian Pizza; thin sliced ham, sliced almonds, pineapple and cinnamon. It is STILL one of my favorites ever, and the only pizza I will order with pineapple as NOBODY has ever come close.
Good job to both Andy and Nicole for making what look to be amazing pies.
I only wish you had recipes for what you both cook
Great job as I watch every episode
I made a pizza with Thanksgiving leftovers
I pressed the stuffing into a pie pan to make the "dough" added some mash/ gravy and topped with the pineapple ham and pineapple slices
Thin slice the pineapple into rings and grill on low heat for a decent length of time before chopping into small pieces to scatter on the pizza. This caramelizes some of the pineapple making it sweeter and less acidic and desiccates it as well so that pineapple juice doesn't spread out onto the rest of the pizza during cooking.
I never understood the dislike pineapple gets when associated with pizza. It's a great compliment to many different pizzas. Is it Italian, obviously not, but as an addition to an Italian pie, it can be very tasty when used with the correct toppings. 👍✌
I love this show!!
Bacon, pineapple and jalapeno on a pizza is king.
That is how I do it.
But Nicole's pizza would trump all with that Philly!
12:27 Why does he say that it had nothing to do what they were talking about! XD
Of all the toppings to give hate too … pineapple on meat lovers breaks through the salty beautifully. Pineapple softens chilly. Do it.
That has to make you feel extremely proud to have beaten babish. Congratulations 🎉🎉
You havent seen many Botched with Babish episodes...he loses against himself quite a bit and that's one of my favorite things about his channel 😂
@@alexandercanella4479 he does have a pretty awesome channel
Omg that was great. I laugh so much at this one with the pineapple. Lol
I related to the glasses slipping bit until he threw em 🥲
The judges are the most Italian people I’ve ever seen
I reflexively burned the roof if my mouth when they started eating that hot pizza 😂😂
IM SO FLIPPING EXCITED !
Babish took the exact approach I was thinking when I saw the title of this video, pork works well with pineapple since its a fatty meat it gives balance to the pineapples acidity
Two of our favorite people covering the age-old debate... perhaps the most pressing question in the pizza industry! We gotta say, it seemed to work well in these two instances. Big up the Philly cheesesteak!
OMG!This was so much fun!🔥❤🔥
"don't smoke pot, kids"
me, ripping it: sorry bab
As soon as she said Philly cheesesteak pizza with pineapple, my first thought was, "Oh, you've chosen to piss off Italians and Philadelphians with one pizza. Nice."
Yus!!! Babish is on my vibe..I invented the pizza-laki..pizza filled with falafal.salad and chilli then rolled..
I love pineapple pizza, but I grew up on al pastor the way my mom did it. She added pineapple, I added more to my tacos! Sweetness with pork is always golden! 😈
This show is incredible
Pineapple has only ever worked for me, in any way, with Al Pastor tacos and Piña Coladas...However, when I witnessed Nicole's monstrously cheesy scrumptious pickled pineapple adventure...pineapple on pizza finally made sense! Kudos to her for bringin' the heat and showcasing an expert level pineapple-pizza move!
Anything can work on pizza. We just haven't found how yet.
They both look really good. I love al pastor
Josephine has the best accent ever
I never knew his name was Andrew and just thought he was born Babish. Been subscribed for almost 4 years now.
I am a simple woman: I see Binging with Babish, I click.
Babish really has the same energy as Ryan Reynolds
“I like it. The hot, the savory, the sweet” literally pineapple on pizza is adding sweet to something savory
So what would you say to a Shawarma pizza?
It's garlic sauce instead of pizza sauce, topped with cheese, chicken, red onions and tomatoes.
Please note I was high when I ordered it for the first time and will order it again once in a while.
Some people just don’t fuck with sweet and savory in one bite and that’s ok. I looooove sweet savory in one bite but hey, that’s why there’s more to choose from so everyone is happy 😊
Dont smoke pot kids? As I'm coughing away... 🤣🤣🤣🇨🇦
From a judge to a competitor I am interested to see how this will turn out
I wish to extend my sincere apologies as a Canadian for the creation of Hawaiian pizza aka Pineapple pizza.
Those pineapple pieces didn't have to be the size of a small country. Shit is a problem
I don’t understand why people don’t like pineapple on pizza… If you say you don’t like it, I don’t think you’ve ever even tried a ham and pineapple pizza, or you probably have issues with anything that’s not chicken nuggets
I won't ever be anti-pineapple, but the stuff makes me physically ill. I'm with Banish, I have zero problems with someone else's idea of delicious.
I find strangely that grilled corn really goes well with pineapple on a pizza.
Its all about Ratio, 1/4 Pineapple, /2/4 ham/ 1/4 onion, Salt of ham complements the sweet of pineapple
I actually love pineapple on pizza lol
Lol, it's pretty famous here in the Phils.
Gross lol
One time when I was real high I ordered a bacon pineapple pizza, and they heard “steak and pineapple” and put steak and cheese steak on my pizza and it was actually fire, so I bet that second one is incredible
Why do I watch this when I'm hungry
As a Canadian, all I have to say is I TOLD YOU SO! OF COURSE IT'S DELICIOUS
I mean, yeah, a Canadian guy invented it so, of course it's good, eh?
Since i love pineapple on pizza and think it's a masterpiece of a topping I would eat either Pizza. Philly cheesesteak now that's innovative it's definitely not the generic one I'm used to with ham
Al pastor is pretty easy to make at home, I just made it last night. Buy a boston butt, add spices like smoked paprika, jalapenos, cumin, mexican oregano, salt, and cilantro, add pineapple, and slow cook in a tagine or dutch oven at 325°F for about 6 hours. Can remove lid and flip meat for the last hour to get rid of excess water and brown the bottom of the meat. It is so freaking good.
