@jespah,

thanks for your answer, but I'm still a little confused. Do you mean that (they) buy pizza occasionally?

@Betelnut,

Yes, it means they don't normally buy pizza - it's a weird phrase to be sure, now that I think about it. But you can use 'odd' in place of 'occasional' in this way.

@Mame,

I thought they were talking about putting pineapple on it. That's fairly odd.

@roger,

Not according to Merry Andrew and those crazy ham or spam loving fiends from the great state of Hawaii. Pineapple still is a chic pizza topping.

I can't believe I forgotten that idiom. When I first saw this thread I thought about suggesting the OP just ask the pizzeria owner what kind of special an odd pizza was. Me and my goofy early onset dementia. Rolling Eyes

Ham, mozzerella cheese, pineapple and an egg.

In the New Nited States, they call that an Hawaiian pizza . . .

Stop chewing those betel nuts and pay attention . . .

Yes, she means that they buy pizza occasionally, and in the context you gave, that's because they don't have the money to do it very often.
