Hawaiian pizza is a pizza which usually consists of a cheese and tomato base with pieces of ham and pineapple. Some versions include onions, green pepper, and/or jalapenos, but the version with ham and pineapple only is the most common. It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of sales.^[1]

However, Hawaiian Pizza is not a Hawaiian invention, nor is it actually very popular in Hawaii.^{[citation needed]} In Italy, Pizza Hawaii is considered to be a German invention,^[2] (or a German modification of Italian cuisine) similar to the Toast Hawaii.
