    "Pineapple and onion are my go-to pizza topping as well, but this pizza is even better! I have been making this once a week because I love it so much! - Fran"

    One of my favorite go-to homemade pizzas is pineapple and onion. This Vegan Hawaiian BBQ Pizza takes that combo a step further.

    Besides the sweet and savory components of pineapple and onion, this pizza has a sweet, spicy, and smoky touch from BBQ sauce and tofu bacon.

    Even though pineapple and onion are my favorite flavor combination, I love to change things up a bit. Pizza is one of those mediums that is fun to try new toppings on.

    For this recipe, I included tofu bacon. If you are just switching to eating more plant-based foods but miss bacon, do not expect this to taste like bacon. It does have a sweet and smoky taste, which goes perfectly in this pizza.

    Since you only use a slice of the tofu bacon for this recipe, I thought you might like to see other fun ways to use it. My favorite way is in a BLAT, but I also love to include it in a Vegan Reuben Sandwich, a Vegan Submarine Sandwich, and a Vegan Monte Cristo.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet and spicy with sweet and savory Hawaiian toppings and spicy BBQ sauce.
    • Made with whole foods, it's an easy weeknight meal.
    • It's a nice change from classic pizza ingredients.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients for vegan Hawaiian pizza on a cutting board with labels.
    • Pizza crust: I used Pamela's gluten-free pizza mix to make pizza crust. Use your favorite pizza dough or store-bought pizza crust. I have a homemade pizza dough recipe made with vegan yogurt.
    • BBQ sauce: I used gluten-free barbecue sauce. For a store-bought gluten-free BBQ sauce, Annie's has a Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce that is my personal favorite. When I run out of BBQ sauce I make a 4 Ingredient Sriracha BBQ Sauce. You could also add pizza sauce or tomato sauce.
    • Tofu bacon: I used homemade tofu bacon. It has a nice savory smoky flavor. You could also use store-bought vegan ham or vegan chicken.
    • Pineapple: You can use fresh pineapple, canned pineapple chunks, or frozen pineapple that has been thawed.
    • Red onion: I like red onion for the pungent bite it gives. You could also use yellow onion or white onion or leave it off.
    • Red pepper: I used red bell pepper because it goes nicely with the other flavors. You could also use orange or yellow bell peppers.
    • Vegan mozzarella cheese: I like Follow Your Heart and Daiya vegan mozzarella. Daiya melts better, but I prefer the flavor of Follow Your Heart better. Use your favorite vegan cheese brand.
    • Green onions: To add more onion flavor. Since there are already red onions, you could leave them off or leave off the red onions.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What are the ingredients on a Hawaiian pizza?

    A Hawaiian pizza recipe has pineapple, ham, cheese, and onion. For this vegan Hawaiian BBQ pizza, I used BBQ sauce, tofu bacon, pineapple, onion, red pepper, green onion, and vegan mozzarella.

    Do you cook pineapple before putting it on pizza?

    You don't need to cook pineapple before putting it on pizza because it will be heated in the oven.

      Made the tofu bacon recipe and was very pleasantly surprised!
      When I tasted the marinade I really didn’t like it but the end result was actually very good and enough like bacon to use as a substitute especially when used with other ingredients.I’ll definitely make again.Thankyou😀5 stars

        Thanks Jen, I'm glad that you liked it! I can see why you might not like the tofu bacon marinade before cooking the tofu. The liquid smoke has a strong flavor that mellows out after cooking.
