Thank you for the kind words! We made a couple of "Mahalo" pizzas yesterday. Taste testers scored the pizzas shown the highest of any made so far. All were unaminous in saying that it was the best "Hawaiian" they'd ever tried and a couple commented that it was the best pizza they'd ever eaten of any variety during their lives. Another simply rolled his eyes after taking a first bite and quietly said, "That tastes like money." It's great when once-in-a-blue-moon a plan comes together and you get lucky.
Wow! We're moving in the right direction, again.
I've never personally been a huge fan of pineapple/ham pizzas but I did like this creation. I didn't get a chance to sample a slice live but I tried a re-heated slice in my kitchen oven this morning. The sweet but tart pinapple plays off very nicely with the saltiness of the ham. The tomato sauce corrals all the favors together and marries them on the palate. Texture wise the soft, gooey cheese, and crunchy crisp crust, makes for a nice medley with the tender ham and fibrous pineapple. Very balanced all around yet there are a number of tastes and textures happening at once which puts it over the top. This menu item should be a solid seller by the slice, too. I suspect Californian's will probably appreciate this pizza over our East Coast guests.
