According to an Aug. 11, 2017, tweet shared by Curators of Sweden, a social media campaign initiated by the Swedish Institute and VisitSweden, the pineapple-banana-curry topping trifecta made up the “most Swedish pizza there is.”

Snopes reviewed the menus of various pizza places in Stockholm and, lo and behold, we found a number of establishments offering their own flavor of the banana specialty.
Two such pizzerias were Corella Kungsholmen and Stockholm Pizza, both of which offered the “Tropicana” pizza, described as topped with tomato sauce, cheese, ham, pineapple, curry, and you guessed it bananas. In the U.S., the Swedish-style food joint Viking Pizza, which is located in Glendale, California, included its version of “Tropicana” pizza, complete with all of the above toppings and finished off with the addition of shrimp and peanuts.
