🍍 Ingredients and Easy Swaps

Pizza Dough: Use homemade or store-bought dough. Swap with gluten-free crust if desired.

Tomato Sauce: Classic marinara or pizza sauce. Add a pinch of chili flakes for heat.

Mozzarella Cheese: Fresh shredded mozzarella melts beautifully. Try provolone or Monterey Jack for extra flavor.

Ham: Use sliced smoked ham or Canadian bacon. Swap with turkey or plant-based ham for a vegan option.

Pineapple Chunks:
Fresh pineapple gives the best caramelization. Canned works too, just drain well.

Brown Sugar: Optional, but helps caramelize the pineapple for that burnt-sweet finish.

Olive Oil: Drizzle before baking for crispiness.

Fresh Basil (optional): Adds a fresh pop of flavor at the end.
