Hawaiian pizza is simple and classic, a favourite flavour to order in a typical american pizza house. It is topped with very basic ingredients such as pineapple and ham with a tomato base. With the name itself, hawaiian pizza, many thought it orignated from the beach paradise, Hawaii, which is well known for its local fruits, pineapple. But no! Putting pineapple on pizza originated in the small town of Chatham, Ontario, Canada!
