A Canadian-invented pizza has been deemed the most popular pizza in the U.S. for 2020, according to an annual report from food delivery app GrubHub.
GrubHub's "Taste of 2020" report has crowned Hawaiian pizza as "America's Favorite Pizza" after finding the pie was 689 per cent more popular than last year.
The "Taste of 2020" report is based on trends gathered from more than 30 million orders on the Grubhub platform. According to Grubhub, the order trends detail the rise in popularity of certain food items placed by U.S. diners from January-November 2020 compared to the same timeframe in 2019.

The dish tends to spark debate about whether the tropical fruit should be used as a pizza topping.
Greek-Canadian Sam Panopoulos said he created the pizza in 1962 at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ont.
According to his 2017 obituary, Panopoulos claimed to media outlets over the years to be the first to put pineapple on pizza after deciding that chunks of the canned fruit might make a tasty topping. He reportedly called it Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used.
However, Panopoulos' claim to pineapple on pizza isn't undisputed.
The Associated Press previously noted that some suggest that pineapple pizza was invented in Australia, while others say it evolved from a German dish of ham, cheese and pineapple on toast.
And where did they find these pineapple's in the Yukon?
That’s just wrong. It’s like something they feed

If it’s wrong I don’t want to be right.
Did you toss it back up after consumption?
Yeah, they probably like cucumbers up there too. I’ll bet Liam Neeson orders his that way.
It’s unnatural I tell ya!
Oh here we go... LOL

I can remember having Hawaiian pizza 40 years ago.

Mahalo and WikiWahoo to you ;)
I rarely eat pizza but when I do, it’s always chicken, pineapple, green & red peppers in a red sauce.
It has more flavor/taste than typical pepperoni, sausage, etc
Dont forget the shrimp
Consider the source of this claim, GrubHub, Gen Y & Z favorite curl up and suck thumbs food source...limit contact with humans, unable to cook for themselves...just pathetic all around
Ping.
“The toss up for the worst pizza I ever had was Rome/Tokyo”
In Hong Kong, they make a pizza with ham and pineapple that has thousand-Island salad dressing rather than red sauce.
It tastes sort of like an open face sandwich, which is OK if that’s what you want. But, if you want pizza, it is simply disgusting.
Gdang Canadians, they think they invented everything, hey! we had chili cheese fries before you figured out poutine!
