I can guarantee some of y’all are reading the title of this recipe and already making a grossed out face, so I’ll just go ahead and apologize that my most favorite type of pizza in the whole wide world is Hawaiian.
Trust me, I have been the recipient of the ewww nasty faces when I suggest to a group we order Hawaiian pizza, and I know that I fall into a smaller group of people that have this as their preferred flavor.
You know it’s bad when you order a pizza with your dude on your cheat day, and he is afraid that an ingredient of your super delicious half might remotely ‘infect’ his side (his word not mine). I just can’t help myself, it’s that sweet and salty mix that I just love I’m talking about the pizza not the dude hehe.
I kept seeing all of these pizza dips on Pinterest, but obviously not my favorite kind, so I figured I needed to remedy that asap. Honestly this dip made all of my Hawaiian pizza dreams come true I’m such a dork, and I’m gonna go ahead and optimistically say that you will like this dip even if you are not a huge fan of this flavor. It was perfectly cheesy, pineapple-ey, ham-ey, and just bursting with pizza goodness. It didn’t hurt that I dipped delicious fresh French bread slices into it, drrooool, soo good y’all.
Mmm, look ham that needs to be sliced…

- 1-2 Cups of Fresh Pineapple.
- 8 Ounces of Ham.
- 3 1/2 Cups of Mozzarella, Shredded.
- 8 Ounces of Pizza Sauce (Any pre-made you like).
- 1/2 Cup of Parmesan, Shredded.
- 2 Tablespoons of Pesto (Optional).
- 8" Iron Skillet.
- French or fresh bread for dipping.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut up the desired amount and size of pineapple you like, as well as the ham.
- Place 2 cups of your shredded mozzarella in the bottom of your greased skillet.
- Then evenly spread your pizza sauce on top of your mozzarella.
- Now layer half of your ham onto the pizza sauce, then sprinkle your parmesan on top of the ham.
- Now place your pineapple on top of your parmesan, and you can place your pesto amongst the pineapple if you want to use it too.
- Now place 1 cup of your shredded mozzarella as the top layer and bake for 25-30 minutes (I took mine out at 27) until bubbly and cheesy.
- Once I took mine out of the oven I sprinkled the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and ham on top.
- Serve immediately, and I suggest with french bread 🙂
- Note that all ingredients I used can be doubled, tripled, halved, etc completely according to what you like, that's what is awesome about cheesy dips.
