It's because Spanish explorers thought that they looked like pine cones, so they called it "pina." Several hundred years pass and some maniac put it on a pizza. It's called evolution, and with Canadian bacon it is delicious.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.
Are you talking about ananas?
I prefer the "hot Hawaiian" with ham, pineapple, and jalapenos. Sometimes pepperoni as well. Yummy.
Intelligence is "knowing that tomato is a fruit"
Wisdom is "knowing not to put tomato in a fruit salad"
Yes, tomato is a "fruit" in the biological sense. But so are cucumbers, squash, zucchini, and many other savory plants. Fruit in the context of a kitchen, however, tends to be on the sweeter side.
Its because 'fruit' and 'vegetable', in their culinary context, don't really actually mean anything.
... Also, just wanna let people know that in the midwest, pickles on pizza are not that uncommon.
…can't say I've ever run into that and I'm a Midwesterner; where are you getting pickles on your pizza‽

... theres more than one pizzeria here in Sioux Falls that specifically offers a special that includes pickles.
Other languages are smarter about this, e.g. German differentiates "Früchte" (fruit in a general sense, including botanical), "Obst" (sweet/sour/non-savory fruit in a culinary sense) and "Gemüse" (savory fruit, salad, roots etc. in a culinary sense).
That said, I like pineapple pizza.
Cos Tomatoes aren't sweet
If fruit on pizza, why not raisins, grapefruit, and lychee?
raisins
Texture. No.
grapefruit
Doesn't cook well.
lychee
Racism. Only racism.
