I grew up with pineapple on pizza also, and agree that the combo of salt and sweet is fantastic! Once, when passing through a small southern Illinois town, we were offered sliced apples on pizza. Had them with sausage and green peppers--different and delicious!
Another fun thing to do is to throw fresh fruit in green salads. Most of us've had the spinach-and-orange or field greens/romaine-and-dried-berries combo, but it also tastes good to throw fresh strawberries or cubed papaya or mango into a plain green salad with a simple vinaigrette (I make mine without oil, but a little canola is good on these, too; it doesn't fight with the fruit the way olive oil does). Since I love veggies much more than fruits, I appreciate these ways to sneak fruits into my diet!
