Hawaiian pizza is a pizza usually consisting of a cheese and tomato base with pieces of ham (or alternatively Canadian bacon or Bacon) and pineapple. Some versions include onions and/or green pepper, but the version with ham & pineapple only is the most common.
Hawaiian pizza did not originate in the state of Hawai'i, but gets its name from the Hawaiian character of the pineapple and ham (pineapple being one of the more popular fruits on the islands, and pigs being the most common domesticated animal on the islands). This topping combination is especially popular in the Western United States and Australia, but notably not in Hawai'i. This type is also common within the EU as Pizza Hawaii[citation needed].
According to Pizza Marketing Quarterly it is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of sales.
A Pizza Express branch in Edinburgh, Scotland is known as the place where the very first Hawaiian pizza was made.[

As a wild guess i'd say new york around the 1920's
The strange thing is I dont think pineapples are even a native species of Hawaii. How bizarre!
