Pineapple Pizza - History of the controversial Hawaiian Pizza

The most controversial pizza topping around - why are we so passionate for or against Pineapple on Pizza? Click here to learn about the history of the Hawaiian Pizza and more!

So, a Greek guy in Canada made an Italian staple into something that he thought would represent a Hawaiian cuisine (even though it was just the can, many people naively believe it truly is a Hawaiian dish)

Once someone told me they thought that’s how they ate their pizza over there. Lol.

Nevertheless, if I were in Canada at that time, I would have visited his restaurant and ordered one of the originals. It’s not the best pizza topping but it is also not the worst. (I hate anchovies, fish of any kind or mushrooms on my pizza. Mushrooms are good in other dishes.)

You know, if it had been invented by a Hawaiian, it would probably have Spam on it.

Hawaiians love them some Spam.

  Ham and pineapple are an awesome combo. Not quite spam, but fairly close.
