So do we REALLY eat pineapple on pizza in Michigan?
As I was reading this research I started wondering if we REALLY do eat pineapple pizza in this great state of Michigan. So I reached to our buddy Scott Taylor from Sick Pizza in Oxford (he’s in Florida on business…that didn’t stop me from hitting him up). Does he like pineapple pizza? And how does he sell?

Unique Food Combinations – what else do we love in the USA?
Pineapple on Pizza
Of all the combinations uncovered by this survey, pineapple on pizza is the most controversial. Heated online debates have been dedicated to this topic for years, and you can still hear friend groups arguing over it in pizza shops across the country. Now, the states have spoken: 18 states listed pineapple on pizza as their favorite unique food combination. There is no one region of the U.S. in which this combination prevails — it can be found from Virginia to Washington to Illinois to Maine.
Chicken and Waffles
The famous combination of savory fried chicken and fluffy waffles is a known comfort food and is the second most popular across 11 states. It can be a delicious addition to your Sunday brunch or a soul-soothing rainy-day dinner. While most people connect chicken and waffles with the South, it’s also a fan favorite in various Northeast states as well as Missouri and Hawaii.
French Fries and Ice Cream
This classic combination of sweet and salty ranked third in our survey, winning over 10 states across the U.S. Whether you’re in search of a midnight snack or just something simple, french fries and ice cream have got your back. This combination’s popularity resides firmly in the South, West, and Midwest.
Salt and Watermelon
Only one state chose this refreshing summer snack as one of the best food combinations: Arkansas! Juicy watermelon sprinkled with salt provides a welcome reprieve from the sticky southern heat.
