Trudeau agreed with the sentiment of it being a national treasure, and it isn't the first time he's shown his love for this food.

"I have a pineapple. I have a pizza. And I stand behind this delicious Southwestern Ontario creation," he tweeted in 2017. 

Hawaiian pizza was created by restaurant owner Sam Panopoulos in Ontario back in 1962, when he decided to try putting pineapple on pizza.
