Where to eat Hawaiian (AKA pineapple) pizza in Toronto

Pineapple on pizza. It’s a contentious topic in some circles.

And while our Prime Minister plays nice with the new US president, he’s starting wars with Iceland. He even went so far as to publicly defended the Canadian-born classic on Twitter.

Still not convinced? These are some of the finest pineapple-topped pies in Toronto. They might pretend to be Hawaiian but we all know this pizza is true Ontario original.

Chili infused pineapple adds a sweet and spicy hit to this sesame crust topped to max capacity with a jalapeños, red onion, a trio of cheeses, red sauce, roasted garlic, red chilies, Thai basil salsa verde, and cumin seed oil.

Not pineapple, but perhaps just as blasphemous… Chef NateTasty has made it a habit to apply fresh mango to the occasional deep dish special.
