Pineapple pizza, with its controversial combination of sweet and savory flavors, has a rich history that dates back to the 1960s. The creation of the Hawaiian pizza is often credited to Canadian chef Sam Panopoulos, who first added pineapple and ham to a pizza at his restaurant in Ontario. This unique twist on the traditional Italian dish quickly gained popularity and spread to pizzerias around the world. Today, the debate over whether pineapple belongs on pizza rages on, but for those who enjoy it, the addition of extra cheese adds a creamy richness that complements the sweetness of the pineapple. In terms of the best version of this dish, some argue that the key lies in using high-quality mozzarella and fresh, juicy pineapple to achieve the perfect balance of flavors. While traditionalists may prefer the classic ham and pineapple combination, others have experimented with adding bacon, jalapenos, or even barbecue sauce to create their own unique variations. Whether you love it or hate it, pineapple pizza with extra cheese continues to be a polarizing yet beloved menu item in pizzerias worldwide.
