Hawaiian Pizza

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!Submitted by: KRAMTHEGRAM

Your recipe is very similar to mine. I always bake them on the broiler pan in my oven so the grease drips down. I line the broiler pan with foil to make easy cleanup, and usually make 3-4 pounds at a time because it's a lot of work. - 5/13/12
