Begin by preparing your pizza dough. If using a homemade recipe, follow it through step 9—you’ll need just one dough ball. For store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature for easier handling and stretch.

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and ensure your baking surface or pizza stone is ready to go.

Once your dough is shaped and brushed with olive oil, prick it all over with a fork to help prevent bubbling during baking. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the base, stopping just short of the edges. Scatter the shredded mozzarella evenly on top, followed by diced ham and pineapple chunks. Be sure the pineapple is well-dried before using to prevent excess moisture that can make the crust soggy. Finish with a light dusting of dried oregano.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Brush this aromatic mixture along the outer crust for added flavor and a golden finish.

Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is deep golden brown around the edges.

Once baked, let the pizza cool slightly before slicing into 8 even pieces. Serve hot and enjoy the balance of savory, cheesy, and subtly sweet flavors.
