Everyone says it's great but I don't think pineapple belongs on a pizza.

I tend to agree. I adore seafood but can't imagine it on pizza. I don't
know about the anchovies (too salty) but the other seafood on the list is
far too easy to overcook (into an expensive form of rubber).

IF I were going to put chicken on pizza I'd definitely want a cheddar, colby
or perhaps fontina as the cheese. Something about chicken with mozz or
