In its ruling released on Tuesday, the commission noted that Tamburella's refusal to put pineapple on the pizzas was because "he considers, as an Italian, that putting pineapple on a pizza is an insult to his culture".

It also noted that it was the third time Tamburella had refused to use the fruit on pizzas in the past four years.

He had previously requested his boss to "check how important it is for Italians not to put pineapple on a pizza".

Who made him the food police? Like give me fucking break, if someone orders a Hawaiian pizza then don't consider it authentic Italian pizza. That's fine. But it's still your job to make it. What an ass hole.

    Also, pizza is just one of the miriad of Mediterranean "oven fired dough with stuff on top" recipes. Italians didn't invent pizza (they didn't invent pasta either, BTW), they've appropriated a shared tradition, and claimed it as their property.
