UK Pizzeria Charges £100 for Hawaiian Pizza to Discourage Orders
Lupa Pizza in Norwich takes a stand against pineapple as a topping by pricing its Hawaiian pizza at £100, igniting renewed debate over the controversial dish.
- Lupa Pizza, a Norwich-based restaurant, has priced its Hawaiian pizza at £100 to deter customers from ordering it, citing a strong dislike for pineapple on pizza.
- The menu description humorously calls out customers willing to pay the price, labeling them 'monsters' and suggesting champagne as a pairing.
- The restaurant's co-owner, Francis Woolf, and head chef, Quin Jianoran, have publicly expressed their disdain for the topping, referring to it as a 'tropical menace.'
- The Hawaiian pizza, which combines ham and pineapple, was originally created in Canada in the 1960s by Greek immigrant Sam Panopoulos and has remained a divisive topic ever since.
- The £100 Hawaiian has not yet been ordered, but the restaurant's pricing strategy has drawn international attention and reignited the global debate over pineapple on pizza.
