Hawaiian Pizza[edit]
Hawaiian pizza is a fusion food that combines elements of sweet and savoury. Hawaiian pizza is characterized by the toppings of tomato sauce, cheese, pineapple, and back bacon or ham. Controversy surrounds the idea of pineapple on pizza, dividing public opinion. In a 2016 survey, pineapple was named ahead of anchovies and mushrooms, as the top three least favourite pizza toppings by US adults.[1] Iceland's president, Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson, expresses his stance as "fundamentally opposed" to pineapple as a topping on pizza. [2] However, Hawaiian pizza is listed as the most popular pizza in Australia in 1999.[3]
History[edit]
Greek-Canadian, Sam Panopoulos, is credited as the creator of Hawaiian pizza. Accompanied by his two brothers, Panopoulos operated several restaurants located in Ontario. Hawaiian pizza was developed on a whim in Chatham, Canada, at Panopoulous' Satellite Restaurant. The Hawaiian name references the can of pineapples used in the initial experiment.[2] The addition of tinned pineapple to pizza translated well with the public and became a staple item on pizza menus globally.[4]
Iceland's President and Pineapple Pizza[edit]

Iceland's president,Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson, voiced his distaste with pineapple on pizza in an interview. He announced his stance as being "fundamentally opposed," and claimed he would propose a ban if capable.[2] This controversial statement called for a followup by the president, clarifying his intent via Facebook.
"I like pineapples, just not on pizza. I do not have the power to make laws which forbid people to put pineapples on their pizza. I am glad that I do not hold such power. Presidents should not have unlimited power. I would not want to hold this position if I could pass laws forbidding that which I don’t like. I would not want to live in such a country. For pizzas, I recommend seafood."[4]
Hawaiian Pizza in Popular Culture[edit]
New York Times best selling author, John Green, hosts popular podcast titled, Anthropocene. In this podcast, John Green notably references Hawaiian pizza as a vessel of globalism. This claim is supported as he explains the inspiration behind Hawaiian pizza was Chinese food, and by putting a South American topping on an Italian staple dish emulates globalism.[5] To further his point, he summarizes the popularity of pineapple on pizza spread, not throughout Hawaii, but Australia.
