Pizza has been a core food for North Americans for so long that we forget that it is, relatively speaking, a new dish on our shores. Most people over the age of about 75 can remember the first time they ever saw, heard of, or tasted pizza; the New York Times first introduced the dish to its readers back in 1944. But Sam Panopoulos, 81, of London, Ontario, a small city about halfway between Detroit and Toronto, can take it one step further. He can remember inventing what is now one of the most popular pizzas in the world: the Hawaiian pizza.
The Hawaiian pizza doesn’t come from anywhere near Hawaii. It comes from Ontario, and was concocted in 1962 in a restaurant serving typical mid-century food without any particular focus. Since its creation, it has become a divisive and fiercely debated entry in the pizza lexicon; a reader-created post on BuzzFeed even called it “the most insulting and offensive pizza in the world.”
Melding canned pineapple and small squares of ham atop a regular cheese pizza, the Hawaiian is a niche pizza. In North America, you would never buy it for an office party or to feed hungry friends at a bar, at least not without a thorough interrogation to find out each eater’s stance on the pie. Pizza is a dish that is universally loved in the U.S. and Canada, but Hawaiian pizza is, very often, despised.

Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
August 22. The videos about facial recognition were a real wake-up call to try and preserve your identity and not let it get used by others without you giving the right.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Personal Development. Greg Smith discusses how we can help our children reach their full potential. We first determine their passions and strengths, which are already genetically pre-determined. We can then nurture and encourage them to reach for the stars. I find this very helpful having two teenage boys that are different in many ways. They also have different passions.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370
August 24. Boys of 1905. Fun to see a video of the beginnings of Rotary!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
August 25. Great Rotary Content! The Guest speaker was hilarious. A great lesson about Africa.
-- Elly Conteras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Boys of 1905. The piece on polio in 1955 was very enlightening.
-- Elizabeth Gaffney, Rotary Club of Stratford, District 6330
