So basically, the only thing that separates pineapple from the other toppings is sugar content. But Ham is sweet, and we just had multiple posters talking about how much they love honey on their pizza.

I have only found 1 pizza that pulled off pineapple and that is at the Blackbird Pub down by me.
It isn't a menu regular but is pineapple, fried chicken, jalapenos. Now I was pretty lit up, but it was amazing.
