Gordon Ramsay has become popular on Twitter for rating people’s culinary efforts, but it’s one of his most recent posts, that has sent the internet into a spin.

Pineapple on pizza is an age-old debate and the tough-talking chef seems to have ended it with one tweet.

Ramsay responded to a fan’s statement about pineapple toppings being a genius idea.

“Sir regarding pineapple on pizza, pizza originated from creativity and initiative, please don’t confine pizza to strict rules,” tweeted the concerned fan.

The Hell’s Kitchen host replied: “Pineapple does not go on top of pizza…..”

His tweet has been retweeted over 110,000 times and liked by over 160,000 people.

Ramsay well and truly re-ignited the argument as store bought pizza sellers jumped in to defend the Hawaiian pizza.

Originally Ramsay made the statement when he was guest host of the Nightly Show.

I personally think any form of pizza is great. Add pineapple any day. What’s your opinion, does pineapple belong on pizza?
