The chicken entry in the Hot & Spicy range, and the one where fruit does the most work. Spicy jalapenos and chilli flakes supply the heat, with juicy pineapple set against them. Sweet fruit and chilli is a deliberate pairing rather than an odd one. Sugar doesn't neutralise capsaicin the way fat does, but it distracts from it, and the contrast makes both halves more noticeable than either would be on its own. Tender chicken and onion fill out the rest, with an aioli drizzle over the top doing the actual cooling. It's the mildest of the spicy pizzas, since chicken and pineapple are both gentler than the beef and sausage that Ultimate Hot & Spicy carries.
