It's no secret that chefs and cooks have their own personal preferences when it comes to certain dishes. But one restaurant in Norwich has taken this to a whole new level by refusing to even offer a dish that they don't like. Lupa Pizza has gone as far as charging a whopping £100 for their Hawaiian pizza, simply because they believe that pineapple has no place on a pizza.
Whether you're a fan of pineapple on pizza or not, this extreme response is sure to raise some eyebrows. The restaurant's listing on Deliveroo for the Hawaiian pizza comes with a cheeky message, "Yeah, for £100 you can have it. Order the champagne too! Go on you monster!" It's clear that Lupa's owner and head chef are not holding back their disdain for this controversial topping.
In an interview with the Norwich Evening News, co-owner Francis Woolf stated, "I absolutely loathe pineapple on a pizza." And head chef Quin Jianoran added, "I love a pina colada, but pineapple on pizza? Never. I'd rather put a bloody strawberry on one than that tropical menace." It's safe to say that pineapple has no place in their kitchen.
Despite their strong stance against pineapple on pizza, Lupa claims to cater to all tastes - as long as it doesn't involve pineapple. They offer customizable pizzas where customers can choose their own toppings, as well as monthly specials such as beef shin rendang and garlic whipped tofu. These unique options are a far cry from the classic Margarita, showing that Lupa is not afraid to stray from tradition.
In response to the controversy, Lupa has even set up an online poll to determine whether pineapple actually belongs on pizza. The options are clear: "Yes, it's delicious!" or "Absolutely not." The results will be shared on Facebook and Twitter, giving customers a chance to voice their opinion on this heated debate.
If the majority votes "yes," Lupa has reluctantly agreed to offer the Hawaiian pizza as one of their monthly specials. However, head chef Quin has made it clear that he will not be happy about it. "If pineapple wins the vote, I'll make it, but I won't be happy about it - and I might charge £200 next time," he stated. In the meantime, pineapple lovers can satisfy their cravings with Lupa's newly added pina colada on the menu.
