It seems a common opinion that Pepperoni Pizza is the default pizza and other pizzas are somehow less representative of the platonic ideal. However, this is illogical, not grounded in history, and relegates pizza to a lower culinary role than it deserves.

Pepperoni doesn't need to be cooked. It is already preserved. So slapping it on a pizza is doubling up on food preparation.

On the other hand, Pineapple /i does /i need to be cooked for some people, and it has otherwise had little preparation. Pineapple contains protein destroying enzymes on its own. (This is why canned pineapple is required for a pineapple upside down cake or a pineapple jello salad.)

Stop preparing food twice. Cook pineapple once to make it safe for your mouth.

There are other reasons pineapple is superior, but this is a taste of the truth.
