According to CTV News, the pizza combo was created by Greek-Canadian cook Sam Panopoulos at the Satellite Restaurant in Ontario, way back in 1962.
Panopoulos claimed the pizza’s name came from the brand of canned pineapple he used, after he decided the fruit would taste good with a tomato-y and meaty combination.
His claims have been disputed, though!
For those unfamiliar with the fan-favourite, it combines cheese, ham and pineapple on a tomato sauce base.
It’s a controversial choice that Gordon Ramsey has weighed in on in the past.
The controversy has even been used as part of a Canadian public health campaign.
Whether you like it or not, it’s clearly a popular choice — both internationally and at home!
