Inspired by the classic Hawaiian Pizza, this Grilled Pineapple and Prosciutto Pizza features pineapple pizza recipe features grilled pineapple, red onions, prosciutto and Piave cheese.

I read somewhere once that Hawaiian Pizza was first made in Canada, which is a bit strange, since pineapples certainly don’t grow here! Perhaps it was our way of capturing a bit of the tropics through the long winter. Regardless, I love Hawaiian pizza. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure – knowing there’s something maybe a wee bit wrong about it, but then again … oh so right ;)

This pizza is inspired by the classic Hawaiian pizza, using grilled pineapple and red onions, together with prosciutto and Piave cheese. Piave cheese just happened to be what I had on hand and it turned out to be a great foil for the other flavours in the pizza. It’s nutty, a bit sweet and semi-firm (or firm, depending on how old it is). I didn’t need to use a lot of it to add great flavour, which was nice. I also topped it off with a bit more grated Piave and some fresh baby arugula, for some colour.

Cook’s Notes

If you can’t find Piave cheese, I think Manchego would be nice, or Parmesan, or you could always default to mozzarella. As always, my homemade pizzas start with Jim Lahey’s pizza dough.

This is more a collection of ingredients, than a recipe, as quantities depend on the size of your pizza or pizzas. My pizza starts with Jim Lahey's No-Knead pizza dough, but store-bought is just fine, too.
