* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': A variation happens in the Integrated Strategies 2 monthly squad story featuring Aosta, Broca, and Chiave (who are from a FantasyCounterpartCulture of Italy). Chiave finds a cookbook full of [[CordonBleughChef unorthodox]] recipes, and takes interest in a recipe for "Siesta-style fruit pizza". Aosta and Broca respond by tying him up and threatening to abandon him at a church and letting the clerics beat his brains out.

* In Episode 6 of the 2024 season of ''Round Britain Quiz'', the Scotland team are given a question in which all the clues are cryptic references to pizza toppings. While they identify the link and most of the clues fairly quickly, they're struggling to remember what cop show had the catchphrase "Book 'em, Danno!" or how it relates to pizza. Until quizmaster Kirsty Lang says it's her least favourite topping, at which point they instantly realise it's ''Series/HawaiiFiveO''.

To make a Hawaiian pizza, all you need is two toppings: cooked ham and chunks of pineapple. Thing is, though, putting pineapple on a pizza can be controversial to some[[note]]Which is 1/3 of people according to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2022_09_09_at_95043_am.png this 2017 online survey]] from Time Magazine[[/note]]. Pizza typically falls under the "savoury" side of food groups, so adding "sweet" to that flavouring

Note that, despite the name, Hawaiian pizza is neither Hawaiian nor Italian in origin. It was invented by Greek-Canadian Sam Panopoulus in 1962, who got inspiration from combining Chinese sweet and sour cooking on American pizza, and despite being served in pizzerias for decades since, it didn't rise to prominence in media until TheNewTens. Prior to this, {{anchovies|AreAbhorrent}} were more commonplace as the popular scrappy pizza topping, especially in TheEighties and TheNineties.

* An AprilFoolsDay article in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' had D&D stats for monstrous versions of gaming snacks (the idea being that if you accidentally dropped them between the minutures, the DM would roll with it). The pizza slice has various toppings that it can use as weapons, but the 10% that have pineapple just instantly cause the characters to panic and flee ("as well they should" according to the article).
