A Queensland chef has lost his job after refusing to put pineapple on the pizzas he made, in a dispute that has revived the long-running argument over whether the tropical fruit belongs on a pizza.
According to the report, the chef's firm house rule against the topping was what ultimately cost him his position. He held to that stance rather than add pineapple to his pizzas.
The row has again prompted the familiar question of whether pineapple has any place on a pizza, a debate that has divided pizza lovers for years.
The report does not name the chef or the business involved, and it gives no further detail on the circumstances of the dismissal.
