Hawaiian Pizza is such an easy homemade pizza recipe!! This recipe actually turned me on to pineapple pizza – it’s such a polarizing flavor combo! You’ll love this one because it’s got BACON!
Is Hawaiian Pizza the Best Pizza?
Have you ever had a time where you have to eat your words? A time when you’ve said you positively absolutely never-ever-ever would like something and then you try it and, shock of all shocks, you DO like it? You see where I’m going here, right?
I’ve always said pineapple didn’t belong on pizza….but I was wrong. Hawaiian pizza is delicious – especially with BACON on it! Fresh pineapple, crispy bacon, savory ham, delicious cheese and a homemade pizza crust – this is going to be your Friday night favorite!
The BEST Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
It’s EASY to make, I promise! If you’re scared of working with yeast – don’t be. Once you do it a few times you’ll be amazed at how simple it is. This recipe is probably the easiest yeast recipe you’ll ever make – you don’t even need a mixer!
- First, you need to pick the right yeast: Instant Yeast! This recipe is written for instant (Rapid Rise) yeast – do not use active dry.
- Flour – all-purpse flour is best
- Sugar – I always use granulated – this helps activate the yeast
Hawaiian Pizza Toppings
I think the last time I checked, Hawaiian Pizza was one of the most ordered pizzas and the most controversial. Pineapple on pizza? Hmmmm. But, guys, I’m a testament that it’s actually GOOD. Pinky swear! Besides pizza sauce and cheese, Hawaiian pizza ingredients are:
- Pizza Sauce – use your favorite store-bought or my homemade pizza sauce recipe.
- Mozzarella Cheese – shred your own for the best melting
- Ham or Canadian Bacon – Use what you like
- Pineapple – Use canned or fresh pineapple chunks
- Bacon – Cook until crispy, then drain the oil.
How to make Pineapple Pizza
- To start your homemade pizza dough, you first need to whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Then, heat the water to between 120-130°F. It’s easiest to do this if you have an instant read thermometer, but you if you don’t, simply think “hot bathwater”.
- Stir the water and oil together into the dry ingredients until the dough forms a ball. Then you have to knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it comes together. Once it rests for 10 minutes, you’re ready to top it and bake it.
- Preheat your oven to a HIGH temperature – this ensures a cooked crust and a crunchy crust too! Stretch your pizza dough to fit your pan.
- Top your pizza with sauce, then sprinkle on the cheese, ham, pineapple, and bacon crumbles.
How long do you cook a homemade pizza?
Pizza bakes at a high temperature (450°F) so it bakes pretty quickly. It depends on how many toppings you have and how thick your crust is, but for this recipe it’ll be done in about 13-15 minutes. The high oven temperature helps the bottom get crunchy and the top get brown!
Tip From Dorothy
Expert Tips
- You can use pepperoni in place of ham if you prefer.
- Add a sprinkling of jalapeños for a spicy pineapple pizza.
- Storage: store leftovers in the refrigerator. I love to reheat pizza in the air fryer.
FAQs
How do you know when pizza is done baking?
You’ll know it’s done because it’ll be golden around the edges and the cheese will be bubbling. Just wait a few minutes and then slice and eat!
What’s the best cheese for pineapple pizza?
Mozzarella is standard; shred your own mozzarella cheese. Cheese that comes pre-shredded has a coating on it that makes it not melt as easily!
How do you store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Ingredients
For the pizza dough:
- 1 ¾ to 2 ¼ cups (217g-279g) all-purpose flour
- 1 envelope (7g) Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup (158g) very warm water 120° to 130°F
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil
For the Hawaiian Pizza:
- ½ to 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 ounces Canadian bacon or ham diced
- 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 8-ounce can pineapple, drained and diced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Whisk together 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add oil to the water and pour into dry ingredients. Stir until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
Knead dough on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
Cover and rest the dough for 10 minutes.
Stretch and pat dough with floured hands to fill greased 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.
Spread with pizza sauce. Top with cheese. Spread Canadian bacon, bacon, and pineapple over the top.
Bake on lowest oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.
Cool just a minute or so before slicing and serving.

Recipe Notes
If you don’t have an instant read thermometer, test your water temperature by thinking “hot bathwater”.

Easy to master
ReplyBy all means I love a good ham or bacon and pineapple pizza but for the love of Pete can we not call it “Hawaiian”?? Its Canadian / Greek pizza.
ReplyI’ve always thought it was of Hawaiian origin, because of the pineapple!
ReplyMaking a Hawaiian I also add slivered almonds, cinnamon, green bell peppers & onion.
On top of the ingredients you list. To quicken the pace I use a frozen thin crust pie. And use personal pineapple tidbits fruit cup to eliminate excess.ReplyThats amazing that you were able to create a person out of dough, pineapple , cinnamon and a fruit cup.
