Pineapple on a pizza? When it comes to using pineapple as a pizza topping, people generally fall into two camps: love it or hate it :) Of course, I’m in the pineapple pizza loving camp! When the pineapple is heated, its taste intensifies and it goes really well with savory dishes. I’m a big fan of savory-pineapple-anything – ever heard of the fried pineapple?
Anyway, I think the pineapple pizza topping is awesome, especially when it’s combined with onions! Baked pineapple and onion slices give this pizza such a unique mouthwatering taste, you just feel like you can never get enough! This recipe makes 8 personal pita pizzas, and the reason why I put 4 servings (not 8) is because everyone’s going to want 2 :) When something is so yummy, it’s human nature to get greedy and just want more, more and more!
Pineapple, onion and ham are actually the classic toppings for a Hawaiian pizza, but I prefer the vegetarian pizzas so I leave the ham out. For this recipe, you can use fresh or canned pineapple slices. If you are using fresh, check out my tutorial on how to cut a pineapple – yes, it’s pretty simple if you follow my easy instructions!
