The Hawaiian pizza updated with a splash of good-for-you kale

Have you ever wondered who invented the Hawaiian Pizza? Someone in Hawaii, right? Well think again…

According to Wikipedia, Sam Panopoulos, of London Ontario was the first to make the unlikely culinary fusion at his Chatham restaurant way back in 1962. Sam was looking for something to make his new restaurant, the Satellite, stand out in a sea of Chinese food joints. He started to experiment with toppings and that’s when he hit on a total original. His invention, known as a “Polynesian perversion” normally consists of back bacon or ham topped with chunks of pineapple. Now over 50 years later, it’s become the Hawaiian and is popular around the world.


That brings us to my recipe today, Canadian Bacon Pineapple Pizza. My version with bacon and pineapple has the tasty addition of fresh kale… yum!

Canadian Bacon Pineapple Pizza_1 I used maple flavoured side strip bacon which added an extra layer of flavour to this pizza. You could use pieces of peameal bacon, back bacon or even prosciutto, they would all work perfectly. That’s the best part of creating pizza at home, you can experiment to make it your own. Don’t have any fresh kale on hand? No problem, substitute spinach or even blanched broccoli.

Canadian Bacon Pineapple Pizza_3 Canadian Bacon Pineapple Pizza_2 I like double sauce on my pizza and minimal cheese… just sayin’… you can lighten up on the sauce and pile on the cheese. It’s totally up to you!

Canadian Bacon Pineapple Pizza_sq Go ahead and make your pizza dough from scratch… you go girl/guy… I’m too lazy and I buy mine. Either way, celebrate Canada by making this delicious pizza invention.

      Sorry, I don’t make my own pizza sauce Carole. In this case I just picked up a bottled brand. Does anyone have a recipe to share?
