Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza
When I order pizza from a pizzeria, my favorite toppings combination is always pepperoni and pineapple. I don’t recall who introduced me to this pairing in college, but the sweet and spicy flavor combination is one my taste buds have craved ever since. I decided to make my own tonight because it has been on my mind lately. This Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza was absolutely delicious with much less fat/calories/WW Points+ than one I would have ordered. If you’re already a fan of Hawaiian pizza (ham or Canadian bacon and pineapple) then I encourage you to spice it up a bit and try it with pepperoni, and if you’ve never had pineapple on pizza before than this is something you absolutely must try. Delicious. To view your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!
Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza
Ingredients
- Boboli 12” Whole Wheat Thin Pizza Crust
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, I used 1/2, but that makes it pretty spicy, so if you want to cut the heat you can use ¼ t
- 1/3 cup sliced pineapple chunks, I used fresh and sliced them fairly thin
- ¾ cup reduced fat 2% shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10 slices turkey pepperoni, sliced into quarters
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly across the top surface of the pizza crust, leaving at least a ½ inch edge around the outside. Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the sauce, followed by the pineapple chunks. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top, followed by the pepperoni pieces. Finish the pizza by sprinkling the Italian seasoning over top.
- Place pizza on a foil covered baking sheet, a pizza stone (my preference) or straight onto the oven rack (depending on how you like your crust) and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Notes
5 per slice (P+ calculated using the recipe builder on weightwatchers.com)
Where did you find the pizza crust? I’ve seen Boboli crusts before but never wheat.
Actually, I’ve seen them everywhere I’ve seen Boboli crusts sold! Both the grocery stores I shop at have them (Wegmans and Tops) and Walmart also has them in their grocery section (which is where I got this one). Hope that helps!
Emily, I”m new to your blog. Are the post you list based on the Old WW or the new WW Plus. Thanks.
The current program. All of the WW values on my site are P+ which stands for Points Plus. I determine the points values by running my recipes through the recipe builder on the WW site.
Thanks for reading!
This was delicious! I didn’t even know they made whole wheat crusts! I did omit the pineapple because I’m not a big fan but I added fresh basil to my pizza! Thanks for sharing your recipes!
Hey! My Girlfriend and I made this and it was awesome, Thanks! 🙂
And to the commenter above, if you read this, I found them at Meijer!
Emily,
I just came across your site and it looks wonderful! Pepperoni and pineapple is my all time favorite, so glad I found a ww recipe for it! I joined ww in Jan of this year and have had some success but it is slow-going. I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing how long you’ve been on ww and what kind of success you have had?

Hi Emily…this pizza looks great and I can’t wait to make it. I was wondering if you know what the calories are per slice? My husband and I are watching calories and I miss pizza like crazy.
Thank you
I made this pizza tonight for dinner. I left off the pineapple as I don’t care for it and used a cup of fresh spinach instead. Pepperoni and Spinach pizza is my absolute favorite! It was delicious!
I made this for dinner last night. DELICIOUS! So good there were no leftovers, so I had to make another this afternoon to make up for. Thanks for the recipe!
Emily,
My family loves our Friday Night Pizza Nights. This looks great!
Thanks for giving me the link to include in my upcoming Band Fruit Fundraiser Recipe Round Up! It will be published on 12/4/2013!
Made this for the supper bowl, but used a cauliflower pizza crust instead of the regular pizza crust and it was delish!!!! Brought it down to 3 points per serving!! Love love love your recipes…thanks!!!!
This is my absolute favorite pizza combo, and everyone always looks surprised when I say it. So glad I’m not the only one! If you like extra spice, try adding jalapenos 🙂
is the serving size one slice?
Oops! I see I listed the WW points and nutrition as being “per serving” but I meant it to say “per slice” – I just updated it. Sorry for the confusion! You can obviously have as many slices as you like as a serving, but I usually have two.
Came across your blog, and I must say, it’s interesting. Posts like this are what makes this blog amazing, Emily. I really find this information very useful. Excited to read more similar contents from you in the future. More power!
You lost me when you used the Boboli crust. I’ve had cardboard that tasted better! I made a homemade thin crust and followed the recipe, it was good.
Its fantastic!
