That’s a bit of tough question. I’m not sure if there is a larger reason as to why it’s needed but if something was too savory I might feel like it’s overwhelming. I might feel like something is missing. Beer is a good example, sometimes it’s too bitter, so they balance out the bitter with other things. But it tastes very bad without the balance. A cake that’s way too sweet is bad, but if you adjust the ratio it tastes much better. I think pineapple adds something to pizza and for me it works. Only because it’s not overwhelming and not out of balance
They totally do belong on pizza. The sweetness balances out the savoriness. It’s a great balance
why does savory need balancing?
