Hawaiian pizza with chicken and pineapple in the oven
Origin of the recipe
"Hawaiian" pineapple pizza is a relatively recent invention, dating back to 1962, and not even in Hawaii. It was invented by the Panopoulos brothers, Canadians of Greek descent. This tropical culinary experiment has both ardent supporters and ardent detractors, who consider pineapple on pizza to be practically sacrilege and should be banned. However, this dish has remained a staple on pizzeria menus around the world for over half a century.

Cooking tips
Use fresh pineapple; canned pineapple usually becomes candied and changes its flavor, but if you want something sweeter, you can try it. Avoid using the center of the pineapple on pizza; it's too hard.
If you decide to make the base thicker when rolling out the dough, place it in the oven or stove beforehand and let it bake for a while.
