Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

You had my attention and now you have my interest.

As a housewarming present last year one of my guests gave me a jar of homemade chili crisp made with kimchi and flamin' hot cheetos. In retrospect that would have been great on pizza too.
Speaking of chili crisp:

The next time you make popcorn, use chili crisp in place of butter. You're welcome.
 

No lie:
one of my favorite pizzas is called the "Border to Border," Canadian bacon with jalapeno peppers. It's about as controversial and surprising to me as a plain cheese pizza.
Our local variation on Border to Border (from Glass Nickel Pizza) includes pineapple with the Canadian bacon and jalapeños. It's excellent.
 

I like jalapenos on pizza, but my wife doesn't have as much tolerance for capsaicin as I do, so we don't do that much.
I'm in a similar situation. My wife and elder daughter have trouble with too spicy. My younger daughter and I, however, are up for jalapeños on our pizzas (and pineapple too, which neither my wife nor elder can handle either but that's because of bona fide allergies and not taste).
One pizza I got at a local Italian restaurant had more jalapeños that I expected though. But I still ate it and it was gooooood.

Working around different ... thresholds, such as around spicy heat, can be challenging. We could (and have) get a pizza with jalapenos on half of it; I've taken to seasoning food I cook differently--where possible, keeping track of which item is hers, and seasoning it less than mine. I still sometimes take stuff past where she can cope, especially when I'm playing with new ingredients/products.
