It has to be a traditional Hawaiian style pizza. Which isn&#8217;t Hawaiian at all, but the name makes sense when you consider the other toppings.<\/p>\n<p>The basics are the basics. Crust (your choice) pizza sauce and cheese. Now, start with the meats. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll offend anyone with those. Canadian bacon tops the list. No substitutions. Ham doesn&#8217;t cut it. Pepperoni is a bonus. Other meats are fine (Bacon is always good!) but not needed.<\/p>\n<p>Green pepper is called for, as are diced tomato pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where I may wander into controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Sliced black olives. I know, I know. Many of you don&#8217;t like them. You can skip them.<\/p>\n<p>It gets worse.<\/p>\n<p>Pineapple. Yes, pineapple is a fruit. So are olives and tomatoes. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, &#8220;Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you think that&#8217;s bad, I&#8217;m not done. There&#8217;s one more old-school topping. Yes, I know it sounds crazy. Maraschino cherries, cut in half. And there you have it-one Hawaiian style pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Still with me?
