This pie is for all the people out there who only think they hate Hawaiian pizza. Slowly but steadily, Down North Pizza in Philadelphia has been converting customers with this pie, listed on the menu as the Flip Side. This Detroit-style version is made with an impossibly fluffy dough and is topped with caramelized pineapple and a tangy, smoky homemade barbecue sauce (feel free to substitute with your favorite store-bought sauce). Executive chef Michael Carter uses beef bacon to keep the pizza halal, but pork bacon works equally well.

Recipe notes

Spiced Meatballs With Golden Raisin–Pistachio Pilaf

Spiced, tender meatballs get cooked atop a bed of rice pilaf speckled with pistachios and plump golden raisins in this quick, one-pot dinner.

Meatball Tagine

Warming harissa and cinnamon, briny olives, and sweet dried fruit make up the flavorful base for this weeknight-friendly take on tagine.

Green Chile Puttanesca Pork Chops

The heat of pickled chiles brings a welcome zing that integrates well with the salty elements of puttanesca and acts like a counterweight to rich pork chops.

Gingery Pork Stuffed Tomatoes

We reimagined pork dumplings as a filling for juicy stuffed tomatoes.

Giant Cheesesteak Focaccia

A game-day hero featuring focaccia slathered with Calabrian chili aioli, piled high with cooked steak, melted cheese, peppers, and onions.

Marinated Artichoke and Pancetta Pasta

Salty pancetta and briny marinated artichokes are a perfect match in this luscious pasta featuring pantry-friendly ingredients.

Rosemary and Dried Cherry Pork Chops

Rehydrating dried cherries in hot water turns them plump and juicy—exactly what you want scattered throughout a rosemary-scented pan sauce for pork chops.

Steak With Cherry Tomato Chutney

A steak dinner that’s more about the sauce than the meat.
