From left, Francis Woolf, Quin Jianoran, and Felix Rehberg, of Lupa Pizza in Norwich, Norfolk. Release date January 12 2025. The owners of a popular pizzeria have declared war on pineapple as a topping- charging £100 for anyone bold enough to order it. Lupa Pizza in Norwich, Norfolk, has made their opinion on the controversial topping choice very clear by slapping the hefty price tag for a Hawaiian pizza on their Deliveroo menu. The cheeky menu description reads: "Yeah, for £100 you can have it. Order the champagne too! Go on you Monster!" On why the owners decided to charge such a large fee, their answer is simple- they hate pineapple on pizza. Co-owner Francis Woolf said: "I absolutely loathe pineapple on a pizza."
