Hawaiian pizza is a pizza that usually consists of a cheese and tomato base with pieces of ham, onions, and pineapple. Some versions include bacon, shrimp, green pepper, mushrooms and/or jalapenos, but the version with ham and pineapple only is the most common. It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales.[1]
Despite its name, Hawaiian pizza is not a Hawaiian invention. In Italy, Hawaiian pizza is considered to be a German invention[2] (or a German modification of Italian cuisine), similar to the Toast Hawaii. A Canadian restaurant owner named Sam Panopoulos claims to have first come up with the idea of placing pineapples and ham on a regular pizza in 1960 at the Family Circle Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.
BBQ HAM PIZZA is a pizza often misconstrued to be it's Hawaiian cousin. The BBQ HAM is a ham, onions, and pineapple concoction as above, topped with cheese. However, the primary divergence of this variant is the substitution of barbecue sauce for the traditional tomato sauce. The BBQ HAM variation is not a Hawaiian pizza.
Common variations of this dish include the substitution of chicken for ham, or the addition of black olives, jalapenos, tomato and/or refried beans. This dish is extremely common amongst the United States armed forces, and especially the Camp Striker dining facility (DFAC), rumored to be the largest in Iraq. It is also important to mention the name is always completely capitalized.
