Food for thought.
Phyeah, strategic marketing chefs do.I believe that "deconstructed" is the term the chefs use on the cooking shows.
Whenever Pizza Hut Taiwan releases a new flavor, the internet braces itself. In my decade covering the island’s food scene, I’ve noticed few dishes spark as much excitement—and outrage—as their pies. One commenter on Reddit called their 2022 scalloped pizza with Oreos around the edge, and deep-fried chicken and calamari studded throughout the middle, “a crime against humanity.” Another called the 2023 April Fools’ special, a ring made out of dough with nothing in the middle, “dumb.”
The Oreo-crusted pie sold out in three days. The giant ring was the best-selling specialty pizza in Taiwanese Pizza Hut history. Contrary to popular disbelief, they seem to know what they’re doing.
Is it an old controversy because pineapple on pizza is divisive, or because over pricing on a topping to discourage people from ordering it is anti-capitalistic?The old controversy

Pizza Hut Taiwan Knows It’s Making Italians Angry
From stinky tofu to Oreo-calamari, there's a method to their specialty-pie madness.www.atlasobscura.com
One Redditor called this Oreo, calamari, and fried chicken pizza as “a crime against humanity.”


The same with pineapple but olives taste good.You can't "pick off" olives. They infect the surrounding cheese, rendering the pizza toxic.
I looove olives on my pizza! My favorite combo is ham, pineapple, and black olives on a pan pizza.![]()
Or - and hear me out - pick off the olives and enjoy the fucking pizza. (Ooh, garlic sauce...)
Uhuh. I do not deserve it.But anyone who thinks you can "pick them off" and the pizza will somehow taste like it wasn't baked with lye saturated brine clearly hates humanity and does not deserve pizza.

You get a delicious, restaurant made pizza and allow it to become cold and leftover-y BEFORE PUTTING AT LEAST A FEW SLICES IN YOU?<<< <<< <<<
