Inauguration Dinner: 'Hawaiian' Pizza

In honor of President Barack Obama's inauguration today, I decided to order a "Hawaiian" pizza for dinner tonight.

I say "Hawaiian" in quotes because I don't like the traditional (is Hawaiian pizza even traditional?) Canadian bacon part of the equation. I substitute in pepperoni instead. So sue me. They're both pork products, and pepperoni is so much spicier.

The Hawaiian connection is, of course, a nod to the president's home state.

Try capicollo and pineapple. I'm not a Hawaiian pizza fan, but with capicollo it's actually not to bad.

OMFG. the path is complete, Hawaiian pizza is the pizza anti-christ.

Mozza doesn't call it a Hawaiian Pizza but "Pizza alla benno," which adds speck, pineapple, and jalapeno to the Margherita. The pinapple is sliced paper thin and covers the jalapeno, and it's actually fantastic.

I didn't eat it or see it, but Pizzaiolo had a pizza called "The Obama" on its menu on Tuesday - it was pineapple and prosciutto (or maybe speck). Probably the only time they'll ever put pineapple on a pizza.
