💡 What's interesting
The pairing of ham and pineapple on pizza, known as Hawaiian pizza, was actually invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant in the 1960s, not in Hawaii. Nutritionally, the pineapple adds a source of natural sweetness and vitamin C, which can contrast with the salty, processed nature of the ham, making it a unique flavor profile in the pizza world.
