N Italy has served “Pizza Hawaiia” (pineapple and ham) as long as anyone can remember. They blame it on the German tourists crowding Lake Garda.
That is where I first even heard of the combination. “Toast Hawaii” is a German invention of the 60’s: American style cheese-slices on white toast bread with ham, pineapple and a maraschino cherry.
