While the Hawaiian pizza was invented in 1962, everybody rightly assumed that it was just a joke and did not actually make one until 1988. It was at this point that it was confirmed that pineapple on a pizza is in fact an Abomination Unto Nuggan.

Gordon Ramsay invented the Ooni pizza oven , capable of burning a pizza in 90 secs, after attending his Auntie Ooni's funeral that went on too ***!!*** long.
