Typically there is tomato sauce on the dough and the pineapple goes on top of that.

I would put this down to savory/sweet dichotomy zealotry

Funny that you mention tomatoes because they are not native to Italy and probably just fine for our culturally sensitive chef

The fact is, food gets better when it travels. Pizza is global and people will do whatever the hell they want with it.

But even this doesn't make sense. Nobody has a problem with pears being on top of a neapolitan pizza.
