Sweet pineapple, halal turkey ham — never pork.
Hawaiian Pizza
The most-debated pizza in the world, made halal. The "ham" is halal turkey ham — never pork — so the sweet-and-savory combo everyone argues about is finally on the table for a halal kitchen. It's quietly one of our most-ordered pies with kids.
What goes on it
- • Halal turkey ham (never pork), diced
- • Sweet pineapple
- • House tomato sauce
- • Low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella
- • 24-hour cold-fermented dough
How it's made
Sauce, cheese, then turkey ham and pineapple spread evenly so every slice gets both. Into the brick oven for 7–9 minutes — long enough to caramelize the pineapple edges without drying it out.
Pairings
A Garden Salad cuts the sweetness. Works well as the "kid pie" alongside a Buffalo Chicken for the adults.
Ordering tips

FAQ
Common questions
- What's the difference between this and just adding pineapple to a cheese pie?
- The turkey ham. Pineapple on its own is one sweet note sitting on cheese; the diced halal turkey ham, standing in for the pork the classic version uses, puts a salty bite in the same mouthful, which is the whole point of the combination. Both toppings go on spread out rather than clustered in the middle, so a slice from any part of the pie gets some of each.
- Is the whole pizza sweet, or only the pineapple?
- Only the pineapple. Underneath it is the same house tomato sauce and low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella we put on a plain cheese pie, and nothing on this pizza is sweetened to match the fruit. The sweetness is one topping playing against salty turkey ham and plain cheese, and the pineapple edges darken in the brick oven, which pulls it further toward roasted than candy.
- Does the pineapple leave the crust wet?
- Not the way it bakes. Seven to nine minutes in the brick oven is hot enough to caramelize the edges of the pineapple rather than let it sit and steam into the cheese. The dough underneath is cold-fermented for a full day, which gives the slice enough backbone to carry a wet topping without going limp at the tip. Ask for it well-done if you want the bottom crisper still.
- Is the hawaiian pizza halal?
- Yes — every meat on this pizza, like every meat on our menu, comes from a halal-certified supplier, and the kitchen, fryer and slicer are halal-only. Nothing non-halal is prepared or stored on the premises.
- Can I order it for pickup or delivery?
- Both. Pickup is free and usually ready in about 15 minutes. In-house delivery is our own drivers — no third-party app markup — across Clifton, Paterson, Passaic, Garfield, Nutley, Lyndhurst, Bloomfield and Belleville.
