Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)
  • 1/2 cup smoky tomato sauce

Cheese

  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, fresh
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh jalapeños (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions
  • 1/3 cup crispy bacon bits

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, handful for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness, forming an even circle or rectangle. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet to ensure a crisp crust during baking.
  2. Spread the Tomato Sauce: Generously spoon the smoky tomato sauce over the rolled dough. Using the back of the spoon, spread it evenly while leaving about a one-inch border for the crust to remain golden and crisp.
  3. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a thick, even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Scatter pineapple chunks, sliced jalapeños, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon bits evenly across the pizza so each slice has a balance of flavors and textures.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese bubbles nicely. Monitor closely as oven temperatures may vary, aiming for a crispy crust with melted, slightly browned toppings.
  5. Finish with Honey and Cilantro: Once baked, immediately drizzle honey over the hot pizza allowing it to soak into the toppings. Finally, sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top for a bright, herbaceous finish and a pop of color.

Notes

  • Preheat your oven and baking surface fully for the crispiest crust.
  • Adjust jalapeño slices and red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Do not overload the pizza with too many toppings to prevent sogginess.
  • Using fresh pineapple and jalapeños enhances overall flavor and texture.
  • Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set and toppings to stay in place.
