Hawaiian pizza

Hawaiian pizza is a pizza that usually consists of a cheese and tomato base with pieces of ham and pineapple. Some versions include bacon, shrimp, onions, 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 in Chatham, Ontario (citation required).
