The Slice That Splits Opinions
Scroll down The Lunch Spot menu at Spot A Pizza and you’ll hit the Individual Ham n Pineapple Slice ($3.66) sitting right next to cheese, pepperoni, combination, and veggie. It’s the one that gets a reaction — people either love the sweet-savory combination or insist pineapple has no business near a pizza. Whichever side you’re on, it’s worth knowing what this slice actually is and why it’s a genuine, long-standing pizza style rather than a novelty add-on.
What Makes It “Hawaiian-Style”
“Hawaiian pizza” is the common name for a pizza topped with ham and pineapple, and despite the name, the combination didn’t originate in Hawaii — it’s a North American invention that took on the name because pineapple reads as tropical. What makes it work isn’t a gimmick: the saltiness and slight smokiness of ham plays against the acidity and sugar in pineapple the same way a sweet glaze plays against a savory ham at a holiday dinner. The cheese and sauce underneath tie both extremes together, and the crust gives the whole thing something sturdy to sit on. It’s a real, established pizza style, not a stunt — Spot A Pizza’s version just puts it on a single Lunch Spot slice instead of asking you to commit to a whole pie.
Where to Find It on Spot A Pizza’s Menu
The most direct way to try it is the Individual Ham n Pineapple Slice ($3.66) on The Lunch Spot menu, available 11am–4pm alongside the other individual slice flavors. It’s priced the same tier as the Individual Veggie Slice and Individual Combination Slice, both $3.66, so trying it doesn’t cost more than any other specialty-flavored slice.
If one slice has you convinced, the same ham-and-pineapple combination scales up to a full pizza through the Create Your Own Pizza Spot, which comes in five sizes — Mini Spot ($10.99), Small Spot ($15.99), Medium Spot ($21.99), Large Spot ($23.99), and X Large Spot ($24.99) — so a table that’s split on toppings can build one pie with ham and pineapple and order others separately, rather than everyone compromising on one specialty pizza.
A Lunch-Hour Way to Try Something New
Because The Lunch Spot runs 11am–4pm and prices individual slices affordably, it’s a low-commitment way to find out which side of the ham-and-pineapple debate you land on without ordering a full specialty pizza sight unseen. Pair it with a side of Garlic Bread ($6) or a Mixed Green Salad ($5.50) from The Salad Spot for a complete lunch that’s still well under $10 total.
How It Compares to the Rest of the Slice Lineup
Next to the Individual Combination Slice and Individual Veggie Slice — both also $3.66 — the Ham n Pineapple stands out as the only slice built around a sweet ingredient rather than an all-savory topping list. That makes it an easy way to break up a repeat lunch order: if cheese or pepperoni has become the default pick, swapping in Ham n Pineapple once in a while is a small, low-risk way to try something with a genuinely different flavor profile, without switching restaurants or committing to a whole specialty pizza you haven’t tried before.
