A homophobic ad was placed next to this pizza shop. Their response was delicious.

[RKP5637]

Wiseguise Pizza didn't really want to be embroiled in the middle of a heated social debate. But, when it happened anyway, the pizza shop more than rose to the occasion, with a great sense of humor to boot.

After a polarizing political message appeared on a billboard adjacent to the restaurant in Mowbray, Tasmania, in Australia, the pizza shop could no longer ignore the elephant in the room — or, more specifically, the bigotry on the nearby street sign.

"IT'S OK TO SAY 'NO,'" read the billboard — a message encouraging Australians to vote against marriage equality, promoted by lobbyist group Coalition for Marriage.

Wiseguise Pizza couldn't let that stand — so they decided to have a little fun with it.

4. lol, so do I. I like pineapple and ham. The only thing I don't like are anchovies. n/t

[Ligyron]

9. Don't care for either one on pizza myself but love anchovies

See how diverse we are around here?

[trc]

10. totally down with diversity as long as we all agree

cold pizza for breakfast is awesome.

[IronLionZion]

18. I'm totally down with sharing my cold leftovers

with people who are into that sort of thing. I like it fresh and hot!

[dhol82]

19. I prefer mine reheated on my pizza stone.

[groundloop]

20. Isn't Diversity Fabulous ?!?!?!?!

[appleannie1943]

26. I do mine in my toaster oven. Just never in a microwave.

[forgotmylogin]

39. You can reheat pizza in a microwave...

If you set a dish or a coffee cup with 1/4 cup or so of water inside with your pizza. That will prevent the microwave from vaporizing all moisture in the crust and drying it into a rock or rubber texture.

[Fritz Walter]

27. In a cast-iron skillet

Or Calphalon. I’m open-minded.

Warm uncovered, over medium heat until the cheese re-melts. Time depends on thickness of the crust.

Damn! Just had lunch and now I’m hungry again!

[csziggy]

34. That is the BEST way to reheat pizza!

Keeps the crust crisp and not soggy.

[WheelWalker]

28. Cold pizza with washed down with cold milk. Awesome.

[trc]

35. I generally drink a cup or three of coffee

when eating my cold pizza breakfast...cause I'm hardcore like that...and I can't live without coffee in the morning ☕

[jmowreader]

36. Im going to be a troglodyte and curmudgeon here

Cold pizza is disgusting any time of day, regardless of what’s on it.

It’s not nearly as disgusting as homophobia, but it’s still bad.

[RKP5637]

41. OMG, seriously, I'm sitting here eating a cold piece of pizza out of the fridge from lunch! n/t

[trc]

45. Trogmudgeon away, it's all good 😀

I looooove anchovies!

[suffragette]

38. Mmm, pineapple, Canadian bacon and jalapenos please. I like the combo of sweet, savory and spicy.

[RKP5637]

40. I LOVE Canada bacon too! Used to eat it a lot in Maine when a kid. n/t

[suffragette]

42. A favorite here in a Seattle! I enjoy having pizza in different places. It's one of those foods that

is so versatile and every locale adapts it to preferences.

Grew up with Canadian bacon and pineapple here and learned to add jalapeño when I lived in California.

Enjoy west coast style, east coast style and Chicago, depending on mood and weather. Have had it in Italy - yummy and in Germany (with ham, boiled egg and green picante sauce - must use fork and knife there). Noticed fried egg on top seemed popular in Amsterdam.

Don't care much for anchovy on it, but I like the anchovy in a good Caesar salad.

[RKP5637]

44. Yep! Pizza is a fun food since it can be made soooo many ways! n/t

[irisblue]

29. As a native of New York City who knows Pizza...

... pineapple on pizza is a grave sin.

[0rganism]

30. it's an issue on which reasonable people can disagree

you know, "reasonable people"

[Dulcinea]

54. Italian sausage, green peppers, onions.

I love fresh pineapple, but not on pizza. YMMV.

Mmmmmm...pizza! I know what's for dinner tonight!

[Madam45for2923]

3. So many ways to resist!

6. (pineapple) "Hawaiian Pizza" began in Canada

I read that recently.

"Despite its tropical name, Hawaiian pizza is actually a Canadian creation.
The pineapple-laden pie is the brainchild of retired cook, Sam Panopoulos,
who first served pineapple on pizza at Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ont."

[Wounded Bear]

7. IIRC, it was first called "Canadian Bacon and Pineapple"...

Back in the day.

[ToxMarz]

15. The only place you will find "Canadian Bacon" is in the United States

[Wounded Bear]

17. Oh, I know...

[SergeStorms]

49. Niagara Falls, Ontario.....

most restaurants in Niagara Falls, Canada have it on their menus. They're catering almost exclusively to tourists though, so it's expected. Just sayin'.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. That's Believable

First time i ever saw it offered was at a pizza joint in Seattle. It was ham and pineapple. I'm guessing that was mid 80's which is a good 20 years after the guy in your link did it.

While having gone to many good pizza joints in Chicagoland by then, i still didn't remember seeing it anywhere until that place in Seattle. Doesn't mean someone else wasn't doing it though.

[yuiyoshida]

8. But...But... But...

I like Pineapple Pizza!

[Ken Burch]

11. You'd expect the "No" crowd to say something like

"The traditional definition of pizza is one cheese, and one sauce, on one crust".

[RKP5637]

14. Yep, fall in line, and eat traditional pizza, you commies! lol n/t

[geardaddy]

22. LOL

Spot on!

[Sam McGee]

13. Love those . . .

16. Anchovies it is!

[Canoe52]

31. Shrimp and Pineapple Pizza is scrumptious! nt

[niyad]

32. but it's okay to say yes, too, isn't it? I LOVE pineapple, ham and green pepper pizza.

[RKP5637]

33. One of my favorites!!!!!! n/t

[appleannie1943]

43. Love all three grilled and served without the crust.

[niyad]

50. you do have a point!

[jmowreader]

37. Pineapple on pizza is a good way to find out where someones from

It only seems to be enjoyed west of the Rockies.

[SergeStorms]

47. New Yorker here...

and we've been eating pineapple on pizza for decades. It must be that "iffy" crowd you hang with.

[RhodeIslandOne]

52. Born and raised in Rhode Island

Never tried it until my twenties on a Hawaiian Chicken BBQ pizza. Have loved it since. Usually with chourico and green peppers pizza.

[Dulcinea]

55. I dunno....

...it's my daughter's favorite, & she's born & raised in Atlanta.

[SergeStorms]

46. I love pineapple on pizza.

Ham, pineapple, black olives, green peppers. But, as luck would have it, I have type II diabetes. Pizza is off the menu for me, but that's OK. I had more than my share when I was younger. The torch is passed, and all that.

[RKP5637]

48. I'm getting so hungry for pizza, just had one for lunch, frozen store bought. Not as

good as fresh, but it was OK. One of my friends has Type I, had a slice, threw his sugars way off, too many carbohydrates and didn't get his insulin pump correction right. He's giving up up on pizza too.

[TlalocW]

51. I'm connected via FB to my alma mater

And every year, they post something asking alumni to give advice to the incoming freshman class, and I always post, "Do as I did - order pineapple on your pizza. It will cut down on people trying to mooch a slice off of you."

TlalocW

[RKP5637]

53. Excellent advice!!! lol
