This Maui Wowie-inspired pizza is a tropical twist on the classic, combining the sweet tang of pineapple with savory Canadian bacon, zippy jalapeños, and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color. The high-heat bake creates a crisp-yet-chewy crust, while the olive oil brushed onto the dough adds richness. Sliced red onions offer crunch and a touch of bite, balancing the creamy mozzarella. Perfect for a sunny California evening, this pizza delivers a vibrant, delicious experience reminiscent of Round Table’s legendary version—right in your home kitchen.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (or as hot as it will go). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
On a floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with Canadian bacon, pineapple tidbits, red onion, and jalapeño slices.
Transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the stone). Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, slice, and serve hot.
