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

We enjoyed this recipe would have been better with a salad and garlic bread or something but I forgot the stuff at the store. This recipe is a keeper :) - 9/22/10

This was FANTASTIC! I added some onion, and used the diced tomatoes that also has garlic in it as well, and just used marinara sauce for less calories/fat, etc. Was simply scrumptuous. Thank you for the recipe! - 4/26/10

This was wonderful. We had it for dinner lastnight. I love the sausage because it gives it a better taste than traditional spaghetti with ground beef, plus because of the stronger flavor in the sausage it takes alot less meat. It was very tasty and filling. - 1/9/09

It's funny; I bought italian turkey sausage today for the first time, and thought I'd try it in some spaghetti, with onions and mushrooms and possibly green peppers in the sauce. I was thinking about chopping up some fresh tomatoes to add to the sauce.Then I saw this recipe. This'll help guide me :) - 7/2/08

This recipe is great! I made it and it's so fast and economical. It's great considering I'm in college and I don't have a lot of time or money for good food. Definitely a meal to make over and over again. I added half an onion to the suace and it was fabulous! - 7/1/08
