Hawaiian Pizza Recipes

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

My kids love Hawaiian pizza so I decided I would try my hand at making it. I seasoned the crust to make it a bit better and used low fat Canadian bacon and unsweetened pineapple.

You can substitute chopped salami, turkey pepperoni or cooked ground beef for the ham. Also add olives, red peppers, etc. But I think with the pineapple and ham that is what makes it more like a Hawaiian Pizza.

Hawaiian with some extra veggies.

not the traditional recipe, just using what I had in the kitchen.

standard hawaiian pizza. Makes 2 pizzas (spread half of each ingredient on each pizza) NOTE: the dough (listed in the recipe) is accounted for as 2 full crusts. The nutritional breakdown is per slice.

Made with store bought pizza crust dough & pizza sauce, but otherwise homemade! :o)

An easy meal for one person. It can also be made without the cheese - it doesn't really affect the taste all that much. You can use low sodium ham instead of canadian bacon or add onions or regular bacon if desired.

If you like hawaiian pizza, this is a quick and easy way to make it and still keep your calories low.

I made this pizza with a Jiffy crust and the family raved so I am branching out and seeing what is the best crust with the same toppings and seasonings.

If you are looking for a quick fix that won't stretch your wallet and is healthy for the family then this is a good alternative for a night of family fun. Hot mozzarella cheese melted with mild cheddar blends beautifully with the tart sweetness of pineapple and the robust flavor of black olives. Canadian bacon mixed with chopped onion rounds out the dish with earthy aromas that entice the palate with promises of savory explosions of flavor.

This pizza is so good! It is a little over 600 calories, but a pizza of the same size is normally about 1200 calories--and everything on this pizza is good for you!

You can add the Pineapples either before you bake or when you are ready to serve. I like the pineapples to be cold, so I wait until I'm ready to eat the pizza then add them. I use the heavy syrup ones because I don't use a lot and I want them to really be a sweet "shot" in with the salty.

This pizza isn't dripping in fat, but the taste is great and it is very satisfying. I love it!
