It would be weird if they replaced the tomato for pineapple. That would be one extremely sweet and tart sauce. I’d still try it, but I don’t have high hopes.
Thing is, you’re not really replacing one for the other, you’re usually cooking them together, changing that sweet/acidic/umami balance in the overall pie and creating fresh new opportunities for flavors. Yes, I am being a tiny bit obtuse, but I think it’s a good point.
I already have a sweet acidic fruit. Also the short cook of the pizza oven doesn’t process the fiber enough for my precious precious tummy. I need the long cook of the, I don’t know, throwing the pineapple into the campfire.
Uh, because it’d be horrible in many contexts? Replace the tomato in a marinara sauce on meatballs? Ew. Replace them in my tomato and rocket salad? Ew. Etc.
Would it be ew? Or are we just conditioned to think it is awful while it may actually be one of the best things to exist? You can’t know for certain unless you try.
I love pineapple. I don’t like pineapple in savoury dishes. I grew up getting a slice of grilled pineapple with ham and always that it was weird as hell. After getting one too many Asian dishes with pineapple in, I know to look out for them and not order them.
I think I’m pretty good at imagining what flavour combinations will taste like.
Did two sad gits really downvote me for not liking pineapple in savoury food? Yikes.
Well, I thought that and then added “or should not”, because a food printer should use language understandable to its users. If I order something “with berries” - whether at a restaurant or from a futuristic food printer - and get fucking avocado on it, I’m losing my shit.
I love this debate and I think you hit the nail on the head with your last two statements.
A vegetable is a culinary term not a scientific one. Fruit is both a scientific term meaning the ripened ovary (calm down people) of a flowering plant that holds seeds and a culinary term as plant parts that are sweet.

Uh, yeah? Tomato is a fruit.
This is why pineapple haters have always been a mystery to me, replace one sweet, acidic fruit with another sweet, acidic fruit? Yeah, why not?

I think you are missing the prime opportunity for such a thing – Sweet and Sour Chicken Pizza.
Can you even sauce a pineapple like you can a tomato? Is pineapple sauce a thing?
You can make a jam and used it like that.
Because one is umami heavy and mildly sweet and acidic and the other is heavily sweet and acidic with little if any umami

One of my friends regularly puts banana on pizza
Skeeter, is that you?

I’d try a meatballs in pineapple sauce.

You sound like a culinary ananas hater.
You presuppose that the printer uses the botanical definition of fruit, which we can infer from the character’s reaction it does not, or should not
The character may not know that tomato is a fruit.
His reaction may be genuine, but wrong

What, you don’t like it when you order a berry sauce and get guacamole with tomatoes? What do you put in your yogurt then?
We do have arguments about tomatoes being a vegetable.
Almost all fruits are vegetables.
A fruit is a specific part of a plant (of which the tomato is that part).
A vegetable is any edible part of a plant.

A vegetable is a culinary term not a scientific one. Fruit is both a scientific term meaning the ripened ovary (calm down people) of a flowering plant that holds seeds and a culinary term as plant parts that are sweet.
Fruit is also a culinary term meaning sweet or sour fruit
Which fruit aren’t vegetables?
Not in normal usage. Most people are not botanists.
You don’t need to be a botanist to use the correct definition.
Go on, convince me that it is “correct”.
Looks like a vegetable, eaten like a vegetable, is a vegetable.
How does it look like a vegetable? Looks wise it’s closest to maybe an apple.
Now run off and tell everyone that strawberrys aren’t berrys, because the seeds arent on the inside.
