Pineapple Prosciutto Pizza is a gourmet twist on the classic sweet-and-salty combo, featuring juicy pineapple, thin slices of prosciutto, and melty mozzarella on a crisp, golden crust. Topped with fresh herbs and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, it’s a crowd-pleasing pizza that’s easy to make and full of bold flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce (optional, or use white sauce or garlic oil)
  • 1–1 1/2 cups shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 4–6 slices of prosciutto
  • Fresh basil or arugula, for topping
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Optional: grated Parmesan, garlic, balsamic glaze for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness.
  3. Brush dough with olive oil and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, if using.
  4. Add mozzarella cheese, followed by pineapple chunks and prosciutto slices.
  5. Carefully transfer pizza to the hot stone or baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  7. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil or arugula. Add red pepper flakes or balsamic glaze if desired.
  8. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent a soggy crust.
  • For crispier prosciutto, bake it with the pizza. For a softer texture, add it after baking.
  • Try a white base with olive oil and garlic for a lighter flavor.
  • Use pre-made pizza dough or naan for an ultra-quick version.
