Hawaian pizza was “invented” in the 60s in London Ontario area.
Comment on I love pineapple on pizza!

I am compelled. When poor Italians came to the US way back in the day, they were getting jobs where they made a bit more money which allowed them to basically unlock a lot more toppings than they used to use in Italy. They would add all sorts of weird things. I don’t recall anyone using pineapple at that time but if they had access to it I’m 100% sure they would’ve tried bc it matched the spirit of their other toppings ventures. Anyway, pineapple, bacon bits, and jalapeño is a really good combo.

One of my grandparents is an Italian immigrant and it’s very much this. Grew up with “here try this” and “have more” because they’d be damned if anyone under their roof went hungry or felt like they had to hold back. They also like all sorts of pizza toppings, because they had to eat dandelions while hiding from Nazis.
Having grown up poor myself I’m a lot the same way as an adult, too. If someone wants food or drink in my home or while out with me they get it, no questions asked. Adventurousness is encouraged, and a happy belly means I did my job right.

The other way round. Americans are actually quite conservative when it comes to pizzatoppings. There is a lot more variety in other countries, and also in Italy in particular.

Pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeno is also good.
