Some people saying only ordering a small Hawaiian? I’m not sure any of those people have had pizza at a gathering. Hawaiian should probably be the first candidate to have an extra pizza if the quantities of total pizzas outnumber the total number of flavours being ordered.
It's not a problem whenever I've been to one but people are complaining about there being leftovers that nobody wants because the people who aren't haters are too full from taking slices from others.
If you don't have enough people who would eat a full sized Hawaiian getting a smaller one helps solve that problem.
Every time we've had people/parties at our house over the last 20 years Hawaiian/pineapple is the leftover pizza probably about 90-95% of the time. One or two people want it, have a slice or two and then leave for greener pastures ie. meat lovers, deluxe, etc.
Then it sits there in the fridge, I have too many wobbly pops, open the fridge in the middle of the night looking for a snack, then have to spend time picking that garbage off the pizza so I can stomach it.......and I can still taste it. Thank god for the booze to wash it down.

Like you, Gordon Ramsay required alcohol too as he had mouthwash on hand when he ate Hawaiian Pizza for a charity.
Last week, Gordon Ramsay issued a challenge on Instagram, announcing that if he received 500 donations to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity within 48 hours, he would do the unthinkable: eat “a ######ing god-awful PINEAPPLE pizza,” as he so eloquently put it, and stream it live on Facebook.
To no one's surprise, Ramsay hit his goal handily. Rabid Ramsay fans, of course, are only too happy to see the grumpy chef suffer—and complain about it loudly, in trademark Ramsay fashion. So the chef held up his end of the bargain, reluctantly eating a couple bites of the "piece of…sugar" (no swearing!) during a Facebook Live segment. "It's like eating moose turds," he proclaims, referring to the Canadian provenance of pineapple pizza.
Gordon Ramsay Is Now a Guinness World Record Holder — and No, It's Not for Cursing
Frankly, we're disappointed—we wanted to see Ramsay chow down on an entire slice, instead of taking dainty bites with a fork and knife.
But the mouthy chef did come prepared: He whips out a bottle of mouthwash and takes a hearty swig, spitting the remains out into what we hope is a spit bucket on the floor.
"like eating Moose Turds". That's what one of the greatest chefs in the world described eating Pineapple on a Pizza

A pizza is basically a sandwich. Bread, sauce of some sort, cheese, meat, veggies. You can put whatever you want on a sandwich and no one gets upset. Why is pizza so special? And don't bring the Italians into this.
Probably because pizza a standard "we need food for everyone" meal unlike a sandwich that you're generally making for yourself or family. So odd topping choices are often pushed on the group rather than one person.
And the guy who mentioned the people that insist on some oddball or unpopular choice ALWAYS end up taking one, maybe two slices of that kind and then go right for some normal pizza, leaving the good pizza cleaned out and everyone staring at veggie and one off kinds.
It's been discussed before. Pizza is a communal food. It always goes like this.
5 people watching hockey or sitting around before lunch at work decide to order pizza.
Person 1: So 2 large is enough? Maybe let's get 3 so we can have left-overs.
Person 2: Sweet, OK which toppings should we get? Everyone OK with pepperoni?
Person 3 & 1: yeah that's cool.
Person 4: how about a deluxe?
Person 3, 2 and 1: yeah I'm ok with that.
Person 5: How about bbq chicken?
Person 1 and 3: Gross. Can we not?
Person 5: Come on man, bbq chicken pizza is the best. We need to get that. That's why I even wanted pizza in the first place. If we don't get that then I'm out.
Person 2 and 4: I don't really care, I'll just eat whatever.
So the 3 pizzas show up. Person 5 eats two slices of his bbq chicken and one slice of the others. Person 2 eats one slice of bbq chicken and realizes it's gross. Person 1, 3 and 4 don't touch it. All of a sudden you're out of the good pizzas and the only left overs are the nasty bbq chicken.
Wow, has this thread ever moved quickly. Yes, this.
See, the veggie thing can be circumnavigated by going with feta and tomato. That's just a hell of a good pizza, especially when it's Greek style pizza with that heavy dense crust. Problem solved. Although, honestly, I don't mind a veggie pizza for the most part; I just happen to really not like mushrooms, so that usually ruins it for me.
I have never experienced this BBQ chicken thing, but I also am not a big fan of BBQ chicken pizza (or for that matter, any pizza with BBQ sauce in place of tomato sauce). I just don't know if I've ever been in a group where someone insisted on it being ordered.
Hey, can you guys believe I got through that whole post about my personal preferences regarding pizza toppings without whining and complaining about the things other people like? Amazing, right? Based on certain posters, you'd think such things were totally impossible.

Tomato and feta sounds like a pretty boring pizza. Your choices are not approved.
I'll have you all know that the most distinguished and palatable pie in existence is the sautéed grape, salmon, caramel, and coriander pizza.

I’ve definitely got burnt with the leftover Hawaiian on a few occasions. Now I’m at the point where if I have friends over I just pick and choose the order. Mainly because I’ll be paying for it and don’t want to throw out crap later. The only exception will be if a vegetarian or someone with dietary concerns come over. Then it’s cheese pizza all day. None of that vegetarian ####. Because cheese pizza is dope.

Well, it sounds like you've never had it, so you have no standing here, sir.
That said, I've seen variations with some combination of green peppers, black olives, kalamata olives, spinach... even chicken, although that sort of defeats the purpose if you're using it as your veggie option. All good stuff. But I think it was just that my dad always ordered a meat lovers and a feta and tomato when I was a kid, so it's partly a nostagia thing.

It depends how many kids are there are at the party as well. They seem to love that stuff. I always assume it was just an easy way to get kids to eat something bland with a little fruit on it.

What is objectionable about the pineapple on the pizza. I get indifference or not your favourite but what in pineapple is off putting that makes it not taste good?

2nd round is up, and only 2 of the write in pies made it through (Perogy and Brooklyn Pepperoni). Pepperoni also made a hell of a statement in taking down the well rounded deluxe rather easily.

Texture, the flavour of pineapple is really good (bbq'd with cinnamon..) but on pizza once its shriveled, its like biting into a fruity zit. Gross.
The best pineapple ive ever had was maybe picked a day earlier in costa rica. We went back to the farmers stand and bought 5 more the next day and that was a breakfast staple every day.
