Gather your ingredients. You'll need pizza dough, pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced ham or Canadian bacon, pineapple chunks (fresh or canned), and optionally, some red pepper flakes for added spice.
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your pizza dough recipe or package instructions. Typically, this is around 425°F (220°C).
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If you prefer a thicker crust, leave it a bit thicker; for a thinner crust, roll it out more.
Spread a layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Make sure to cover the entire surface evenly to ensure each bite has gooey cheese.
Now it's time for the star ingredients of Hawaiian pizza: ham or Canadian bacon and pineapple. Evenly distribute the slices of ham or bacon over the cheese, followed by the pineapple chunks. Be sure to spread them out for even coverage.
For a bit of extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the toppings. This is optional and can be adjusted according to your preference for spice.
Carefully transfer your assembled pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
