This Viral Kiwi Pizza Is Getting Dragged By The Internet

People love to debate the best pizza toppings: salty, savory, sweet, umami. Nutella. Whatever. I personally prefer a classic Margherita and to stay out of it. But at a certain point, you can’t avoid the Pizza Wars.

Something will draw you into battle. And that thing is a pizza covered in sliced kiwis.

The abomination went viral on Reddit, where it was posted to r/Sh—ttyFoodPorn by u/nre1313, and subsequently dragged by thousands of people, all gagging a little as they typed:

The pizza was identified as “kiwi pizza from a Danish pizzeria,” which some took to mean as ben New Zealand style pizza prepared in a Danish pizzeria. Others made huge generalizations about how various countries make pizza, like nuadusp who commented, “This is why the Scandinavian countries hate each other, someone else commented on Swedish banana pizza, I wonder what nutter things the Norwegians do.”

         

A number of people mentioned the Swedish banana pizza, so now we all have to know that it does exist.

There’s even photographic evidence (Swedish Banana, pineapple and curry pizza):

A bunch of people argued that fruit on pizza is an acceptable and even delicious combination.

But everyone is wrong! The actual creator of the kiwi pizza is a man named Stellan Johansson, and as you probably tell from the name, he is Swedish.

So he started at banana pizzas and ended up here. Johansson found the Reddit thread and started commenting under his own handle, stellan_77, adding more info on where the pizza was made.

He wrote, “This pizza was made at Skottorps Pizzeria in South Sweden. I had to bring my own kiwis to the place.”

The kiwis were not already on the premise, in defense of the chefs at Skottorps. And he insists that the final product was delicious (much better than banana), and that his kids loved it. He also responded to the question, “Isn’t it sour after heating up?” with a simple “yes,” so who knows what this dude’s idea of delicious is.

At the end of the day, pizza is just the bottom half of a sandwich, so put whatever you want on there. Just keep it the hell away from me and all decent people!
