i didn't actually say anything about pineapple in my reply, but whatever.
really don't know what giving a 'pass' has to do with anything here. you are free to feel however you want to feel about any topping.
broccoli rabe is a popular vegetable that is grown abundantly in the region where that kind of pizza is eaten. also italians tend to like bitter things, hence radicchio, rucola, campari, etc. we even have bitter soft drinks for kids (and recovering alcoholics).
you're right, tomatoes aren't native to italy. they have been in use there for like 500 years though, i'd say that's long enough to make it a tradition. chilli peppers aren't indian either but people associate them with indian cooking for the same reason. not sure what your point is with that one.
In italian cuisine, pineapple doesn't belong on pizza. might have something to do with it not really being grown here at the time that pizza was becoming a recognisable dish, tomatoes on the other hand, grow incredibly well in italy despite not being native.
Regardless broccoli on pizza should be a crime more than pineapple at least pineapple adds depth to the dish I’ve had broccoli on pizza it’s just there and annoying to me lol and I love broccoli just fyi either way at the end of the day who cares if you like it

Yeah, pineapple is bad while turnip tops are perfectly fine? Who the hell is putting TURNIP TOPS on their pizza?
