Hawaiian pizza is traditionally topped with pineapple, tomato sauce, cheese, and either ham or bacon.
The origin of the Hawaiian pizza
The modern pizza we know today evolved from dishes created in Naples,
Italy in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Italians take their pizza very
seriously, particularly in Naples, where the local pizza received
traditional speciality guaranteed status by the EU in 2009, protecting
the original pizza base recipe and its production methods against misuse
or falsification. But the Hawaiian pizza, topped with ham and pineapple,
was not an Italian invention. And despite the name, it did not come from
the US island state of Hawaii either. The pizza was actually created in
Canada in 1962 by a Greek immigrant called Sam Panopoulos.
