Chef fired for refusing to put pineapple on pizza loses bid for job back
Italian chef Davide Tamburella, fired by an Australian restaurant for refusing to put pineapple on pizza, has lost his bid to get his job back, the Guardian reports.
Davide Tamburella, an Italian chef, has lost his attempt to get his job back after being fired by an Australian restaurant for refusing to put pineapple on pizza, according to the Guardian.
Australia's Fair Work Commission heard that he was sacked for refusing to use the topping. The BBC reports that he told his employer pineapple on pizza was "offensive" to Italian culture.
The restaurant was La Costa in Queensland. The Guardian says it has since closed. Its website still describes it as an Italian Riviera experience serving "classic Italian dishes".
