It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a pizza recipe. Pizza is life, so I don’t know how I let this happen.
I’m sorry!
And now the moment you’ve been waiting for……Hawaiian pizza!
I thought a classic and timeless Hawaiian pizza was just the thing! It’s probably my favorite type of pizza and I’m a little surprised ive never shared my recipe for it on here.
You can make this homemade pizza dough recipe, it’s super easy!
There’s a lot of debate on whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza and let’s just agree, it does!
Have you ever seen any of those pineapple on pizza memes? They are so funny! But there’s no truth to it because pineapple on pizza is delicious!! Sorry haters.
This Hawaiian pizza starts with an olive oil base. I’ve been on this kick lately and making all my pizza with an olive oil base.
Like this caesar salad pizza. That’s a cold salad on top of a hot baked pizza.
The toppings really become the star when you use olive oil and you get the full flavor of what you’re adding on top.
Full pineapple flavor.
It’s important (super duper) to season the oil base though, salt and pepper does the trick in general but you can add crushed red pepper for some extra spice, garlic powder, or oregano.
On top of that dreamy olive oil base is big pieces of smoky Black Forest ham.
I get this from the deli, I have them slice it up for me.
You can use packaged ham and canadian bacon too.
Easy peasy. So a layer of that yummy ham then a nice big layer of mozzarella and on top go a bit more ham and lots of fresh cut pineapple pieces.
Oh my goodness, I’m so hungry now.

I made this pizza and it was out of this world. Great recipe!! It is a must try!!! I added little bits of bacon, but it is certainly not needed.
