When Nate and I get to go out we love to go to Alamo Drafthouse.  What is better than going and seeing a movie and having someone go and get a drink or snack or dinner for you?

Of course, I tend to get the same thing every time I go…The Blue Hawaii.  It is a Hawaiian pizza named after the King of Rock, Elvis and his fabulous movie.  It is sweet and savory and a bite of salt all in one taste.  Hmmm!  So good!

This pizza is very similar to that pizza and even though I find it hard to beat, this is REALLY good.

I used Pillsbury Pizza Dough, so that part was easy and fast.  Everything else goes just as quick.  A little extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, mozzarella, onions, pineapple and prosciutto and you are on your way to a fantastic pizza.

The original recipe called for frisee, but after 3 trips to three different grocery stores, I gave up.  They did not have it.  So I went to the substitute for frisee…escarole.  Nope, same outcome.

What did I use?  Well, you can’t go wrong with baby spinach on a pizza.  It can handle the heat and tastes great and it’s good for you.  It was a win for me.  It worked and this pizza was fantastic!

I will make it again and again and again!  I hope you try it and love it, too.
