What is the name of the pizza topped with pineapple and ham?

The pizza topped with pineapple and ham is Hawaiian pizza.

Despite its name, Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada rather than Hawaii. Greek-born Canadian restaurateur Sam Panopoulos is credited with creating it in 1962 at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. He experimented with canned pineapple and ham as a sweet-and-savoury contrast to the usual tomato sauce and cheese.

The name came from the brand of canned pineapple used in the experiment, not from the pizza’s place of origin. Modern Hawaiian pizza generally combines pineapple, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and ham or bacon. The pineapple may be packed in syrup or juice, depending on the recipe and local preference.

Hawaiian pizza is often confused with any pizza containing tropical fruit, but its familiar identity specifically comes from the pineapple-and-ham combination. It became internationally popular even though the topping remains one of the most debated choices in pizza culture. In some countries, it is among the most commonly offered pizza varieties.
