Italian chef dismissed after objecting to pineapple pizza
An Italian chef working at an Australian restaurant lost his job after refusing to add pineapple to pizza, which he said disrespects Italian food traditions.
The chef told his employer that putting pineapple on pizza was offensive to Italian culture. He was dismissed from the restaurant after refusing to make pizzas with the topping.
The restaurant is in Australia, where the dispute over the pineapple pizza came to light.
