Ingredients

Pizza
  • 1 lb. pizza dough at room temp
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup cooked ham 3-4 oz, sliced or diced
  • 8 oz. pineapple chunks drained
  • 4 Bacon cooked and crumbled, strips
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese whole milk/low moisture
Garlic Butter Parmesan Crust
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
To Garnish
  • red pepper flakes
  • parsley
  • oregano

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Note: If you have a pizza stone, put it in the oven while the oven reheats for more even cooking and a browner, crispier crust.
  2. Slice each pineapple chunk into 2 thinner slices and place them in between paper towels. They contain a lot of moisture, so we want to absorb the excess juice before adding them to the pizza.
  3. Spread the dough into an even 12-inch circle. Poke holes in it with a fork to prevent the crust from bubbling up in the oven.
  4. Top with pizza sauce, then with the mozzarella. Add the ham, pineapple and bacon.
  5. Bake for 13 minutes and remove from the oven.
  6. Combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush it over the crust and return it to the oven.
  7. Bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until the crust begins to brown.
  8. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, parsley, and oregano. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • Pro Tips:
  • Storage:
  • To Reheat:
  • Nutritional information is an estimate and is per slice. There are 8 slices in this recipe.
  • Pizza Dough: You can use store-bought refrigerated pizza dough for this recipe for an easy shortcut, or you can make my easy homemade Pizza Dough Recipe!
  • Mozzarella: Low Moisture Whole Milk mozzarella shredded from a block is definitely best for this recipe, it melts very well. (Don't use fresh mozzarella as it's too wet.) I like using Dragone or Galbani. 
  • Pizza Sauce: Rao’s makes a great pizza sauce, and I actually like Ragu’s pizza sauce as well. To add a smokey tang: Use 1/2 pizza sauce and 1/2 BBQ sauce on this pizza!
  • Ham: Ham or Canadian Bacon are perfect in this recipe. It's a great way to make use of leftover ham.
  • Pineapple: Be sure to pat the pineapple nice and dry on paper towels as they contain a lot of moisture. And check out my Pineapple Fried Rice recipe next!
  • Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Leftover pizza freezes well. 
  • Place cold pizza on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with foil. (The foil prevents it from drying out.) Try to tent the foil so that it doesn’t stick to the top of the pizza.
  • Place on bottom oven rack. Set oven to 275° F. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • This is a little time consuming, but by far the best way to restore it back to its original consistency.
