The pizza that shares our name

When your restaurant is called Hawaii, you don't get to be shy about the Hawaii pizza. Ours is exactly what the menu says it is — ham, pineapple and cheese, three toppings and no hedging — on the same thin 33cm Italian-style base every pizza in the house is built on. The salty ham and the sweet pineapple do the arguing, the melted cheese holds the peace, and the thin crust keeps the whole thing light enough that finishing one on your own is entirely realistic. It comes out of a kitchen built around a real wood fire, made with ingredients bought fresh every day — and on a three-topping pizza, freshness has nowhere to hide.

Yes, we know: pineapple on pizza is the most argued-about food question of the modern age. We're not neutral — this restaurant has carried the Hawaii name in Side old town since 2000, and the pizza that shares it gets pride of place, not an apology. Curious about the base itself? Here's the case for our thin-crust 33cm pizzas.

Who orders it — and when

The Hawaii is the great peacemaker of a mixed table. Kids reach for it because of the pineapple, and it pairs naturally with our kids menu and alcohol-free kids cocktails, so a family order sorts itself out fast. It's an easy lunch after a morning on the beach — light crust, bright toppings, no food coma — and because we're open every day until 02:00, it's also a favourite late order when the karaoke stage is warming up or a match is on the big screens. Travelling with children? Our family pizza night guide covers how to make a whole evening of it.

What to drink with ham and pineapple

Sweet-and-salty toppings want something cold and clean next to them — and there's one pairing we have to recommend on name alone: the Hawaii pizza with our signature Blue Hawaii cocktail, the full house double. Prefer your drink on the slushier side? Our frozen cocktails guide covers the colder end of the bar. Time your order for Happy Hour, daily from 19:00 to 20:00, and the drinks side of the evening gets friendlier too — and the kids get their own alcohol-free cocktails, so nobody at the table feels left out.

Where it sits on our menu

The Hawaii is one of a full line-up of Italian-style pizzas coming off the same thin base — our guide to the best pizza in Side walks through the whole field if you want to compare before committing. Torn between an open pizza and a folded one? Calzone vs pizza settles that question. And if half your table wants pizza while the other half is eyeing the charcoal side of the kitchen, that's not a conflict here: the wood fire and the charcoal grill run side by side, so a Hawaii and something from the grill can land on the same table at the same time.
