Mix the yeast with the lukewarm water in a measuring cup and stir until well combined. Set aside for 4-6 minutes. Then, add the sugar and mix until well combined.

Combine the flour and salt using a whisk in a large mixing bowl.

Turn on the stand mixer and pour the yeast/sugar water into the bowl with the flour and salt. Mix at medium-low speed for 4-6 minutes until the dough forms a nice ball and doesn't stick to the sides.

Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rest at room temperature for 2 hours.

Coat your hands with olive oil, shape the dough into a large ball, and cut into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball and place in an airtight container coated with olive oil. Let it rest for 30 minutes before shaping into a pizza.

Preheat your oven to 550°F (288°C) for at least 1 hour with a pizza stone inside.

Shape the pizza dough balls into a round shape on an oiled surface and transfer to a pizza screen.

Let the pizza dough rest for 30 minutes.

Gently add your toppings (mozzarella cheese, pineapple chunks, and pepperoni) to the pizza dough.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes, then carefully remove it from the screen and transfer it to the pizza stone. Bake for another 3-5 minutes.

Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve.
