Hawaiian Pizza with Smoked Ham & Fresh Pineapple

Take a trip to the islands, or at least back to childhood, with this totally chill pizza. Tropical fruit and smoky ham collide in the best way possible on a par-baked crust.

What You Get

Cut pineapple

Smoked ham

Shallot or spring onion

Par-baked pizza crust

Crushed tomatoes

Shredded melting cheese

What You’ll Need

Olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Chile flakes (optional)

Makes 3 servings

Active Time: 10 minutes 

Total Time: 20 minutes 

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Make sure the rack is in the center of the oven.

Step 2

Chop about 1 cup of pineapple into smaller bite-size pieces, reserving the rest for another use. Chop the smoked ham. Thinly slice the shallot.

Step 3

Remove the pizza crust from the package, but leave it on the cardboard. Sprinkle lightly with water around the edges. Spread with about ⅔ cup of the tomatoes, reserving the rest for another use. Sprinkle with the shallot, ham, and cheese, and arrange the pineapple on top. Season with salt. Shimmy the pizza from the cardboard directly onto the oven rack and bake until bubbling and golden, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Using a clean towel or the cardboard, transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Grind generously with pepper, and sprinkle with Parmesan and chile flakes, if using. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
