Let’s settle it once and for all: frozen pineapple pizza is not only delicious — it’s legitimately one of the smartest ways to make Hawaiian pizza (or any sweet-and-salty pie) taste better, faster, and cheaper than ever.
The secret? Using premium IQF frozen pineapple chunks instead of canned rings or questionable fresh pineapple. The result is juicier, sweeter, perfectly caramelized bites that don’t make your pizza soggy — and yes, even the haters end up stealing slices.
This is the ultimate defense of pineapple on pizza, the foolproof method that finally converts skeptics, and why SALAGRI Fruit — the world’s leading frozen pineapple manufacturer (alongside avocado, mango, red dragon fruit, and coconut) — makes the absolute best topping on earth with restaurant-grade IQF Pineapple and super-practical SALAGRI frozen pineapple cubes.

The Foolproof Frozen Pineapple Pizza Recipe (Converts Haters)
Dough – your favorite (store-bought is fine)
Sauce – classic red or BBQ for extra smokiness
Cheese – mozzarella + a little aged cheddar or gouda
Protein – ham, prosciutto, or crispy bacon
Star of the show – 150–200 g SALAGRI frozen pineapple cubes (do NOT thaw)
Extras – red onion slivers, jalapeño, chili flakes, fresh basil after baking
Method:
- Preheat oven (and pizza stone/steel if you have one) to 250–280 °C / 480–550 °F
- Scatter frozen pineapple cubes straight from the bag — they’ll thaw and caramelize perfectly in the oven
- Bake 8–12 minutes until edges are golden
- Finish with fresh basil or a drizzle of hot honey
Result: sweet bursts that balance salt and smoke, zero soggy crust, and the perfect caramelized edges.
8 Reasons Frozen Pineapple Is Better Than Fresh or Canned for Pizza

- Zero prep — no peeling, coring, or sticky hands
- 100 % usable — no waste
