Happy National Pizza Week! Are you a pineapple fan (proudly…no…I’m not)? These guys aren’t, and they’re being pretty spiteful about it.
A place in England called Lupa Pizza just added a Hawaiian pizza to their menu. But the owners hate pineapple (as they should), so they decided to charge more for it…and a lot more too.
Their pepperoni pizza costs 12 pounds, or around 15 bucks. As for their Hawaiian pizza with ham and pineapple will run you just over $120. Amen to that.
Their delivery menu says, “Yeah, for 100 pounds you can have it.” They say to pair it with champagne, since you’re already splurging. It’s drummed up a ton of publicity thanks to the mainstream media in picking up the story.
They say there’s a chance they’ll keep it on the menu and lower the price. Or…they might raise it even more.
Their local paper launched a poll asking readers,”does pineapple belong on pizza?” If “yes” wins, they’ll make their Hawaiian a monthly special. Last we checked, they might have to. “Yes” was winning. Which makes me nauseous.
They say no promises on price though. If they do add it long term, they might drop the price, or they might double it.
