If you like Canadian Bacon and Pineapple Pizza, then you’ll love these pizza sliders. These sliders have all of the same delicious flavors as the pizza, but it’s much easier to make!
Hey cousins! I know that a lot of your will turn your noses up to this one, but let me be the first to tell you that I’ve always loved Canadian Bacon and Pineapple Pizza! That’s right, I am a “Hawaiian Pizza” lover! I remember whenever we’d order pizza when I was younger, I’d always put in a request for Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza from Dominos.
However, my mom would always order a darn supreme pizza. When I got old enough to order my very own pizzas, I would always order either Hawaiian Style Pizza or Pepperoni. I guess it’s no surprise that I’ve turned both of my favorite pizzas into sliders. In this post, I’m going to show you how to make the absolute best Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza sliders!
Is pineapple on pizza a Canadian thing?
UH-YESSS! You better ask somebody!! While many people will say that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza, I personally would have to disagree. Especially for these Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza sliders. There’s just something about the combination of mozzarella cheese and the saltiness from the Canadian bacon that just does it for me.
Is Canadian Bacon and Pineapple Pizza really Hawaiian-style pizza?
I hate to be the one that burst everyone’s bubble, but NO! To be honest, my sis that is Hawaiian, actually hates the fact that it’s called “Hawaiian Pizza”! According to Google, the pizza was actually created in Canada in 1962 by a Greek immigrant named Sam Panopoulos! How funny is that? I guess people assume that if you put pineapples on something, it makes it “Hawaiian” style, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Therefore I just call it what it is – Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza!
These sliders truly taste like pizza, but they’re a lot easier to make. Sometimes I like to add more toppings when I want to jazz things up.
Other toppings that can be added:
- Red Bell Peppers
- Green Onion
- Yellow Onion
- Banana Peppers
- Jalapenos
- Fresh Basil
- Roasted Garlic
- Grated Parmesan
- Red Pepper Flakes
Can you serve Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza sliders as an appetizer or meal?
I serve these Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza sliders as appetizers as well as a main dish. I love making these and serving them as an appetizer on Football Sunday, along with wings, chips, and dip. On the other hand, I also serve these as a main dish on Friday movie nights with the family. When it’s served as a main dish, I usually serve it with a loaded green salad, and cheesy bread.
