Highly Debated, Widely Craved– The History of the Pineapple Pizza
The traditional Hawaiian pizza, topped with pineapple and ham, has managed to do just that. It was first introduced in 1954 by Sam Panopoulos at his American themed restaurant, Satellite, located in Ontario, Canada.
Panopoulos was inspired to create this pizza by the sweet and salty flavor palette of Asian culture. He chose the name “Hawaiian,” simply from the images that were printed on the pineapple can at the time.
