What bothers you? The pineapple or the anchovies?
I like fresh pineapples. But do not think they belong on pizza. I don't care for anchovies.
So Hawaiian pizza is a no go?
You are right. I like pizza savory. Pineapple is just to sweet. I guess I am sneaky, but do enjoy pizza with just cheese toppings. Although Infinitos has this great Alfredo pizza.

A famous podcaster that a few of my younger coworkers listen to has a signature pizza he often orders to consume while recording his podcasts: double anchovies with double pineapple. I'll try anything once....
Marmite soldiers with soft boiled eggs: this is another combination that people either give a miss or consume daily. I grew up on Marmite but Vegemite is tastier in my old age.
Another memory from my youth: cheese and pickle sarnies made with sharp sharp cheddar and Branston pickle relish. I still have them when I can find a jar of Branston in the international food aisle.
We always called marmite soldiers with soft boiled eggs, "dippy eggs" with toast strips. When I was pregnant, I craved sweet pickle sandwiches with cheese and mayonnaise. Another craving were hot fudge sundays. No wonder I gained more pregnancy weight than my doctor was comfortable with.
A common cheeky reply among Brit families whenever a cherty family member demanded his marmite soldiers: “They were court martialed and shot”. It was a reminder that being overly abrasive is not the way to behave.

Properly soft boiling an egg is a skill that continues to elude me. I can make eggs every other way, but I never can soft boil one where it turns out right.

If the egg is room temp, boil for 2 minutes. If it comes from the fridge, boil for three minutes. My mother always used a sand three minute egg timer.

Boil the water first, then add eggs?

You're trying an impossibility. If an egg is properly boiled it will never be soft.
