Pizza delivery app Slice surveyed 34,000 people about pie controversies — including their taste in pizza toppings and the age-old battle between New York City and Chicago for the best pizza. Turns out 54 percent of respondents (out of the 9,474 who weighed in on this question) join the likes of Gordon Ramsay in saying no, pineapple does not belong on pizza.

Throughout the year, there’s been a heated debate on Twitter and beyond about pineapple as a pizza topping. Pineapple haters may have come out victorious, but that still means 46 percent of people give their blessing for pizza with a tropical twist. At least it’s more acceptable than pizza topped with strawberries.
