What do you use for making the “hot” honey? Is it spicy or just warmed up?

Spicy. Honey, chili flakes in a pot and heated. After cooling you can optionally add some cider vinegar or strain the chili flakes.

I feel like what you just described is something I would be eating by the spoonful if I had a cold

You can buy it hot too. Also great on pepperoni pizza.

People that insist ham & pineapple is bad, but jump at the chance for sweet & savory other ways.

I guess my problem with pineapple and ham is not the taste, but the texture. Cause I have no problems if there's some pineapple juice on the glaze, but I'm just not a fan of actual pineapple.

Crushed pineapple is no good, and even canned pineapple pieces are no good for being too big.

Pineapple "just right" is ~ 1/2, lengthwise, of a piece of precut pineapple. You also want it on top of the cheese so it can dehydrate more & maybe get a little colour.

Pineapple also brings acidity which helps open up the other flavors on the pizza.

To step up your pineapple pizza, you want capocollo instead of boring ham.

It's like your "hot honey", except it is spicy delicious ham & complex sweet & acid pineapple.

Mixing a little sriracha into normal warmed honey works in a pinch. A+ condiment for improving cheap pizza.

I just add a habanero (chop the stem off) to some honey and warm gently it for about 15 mins (try not to let it boil) and let it cool before back into the jar. Simple as.

They sell it at Trader Joe's if that's local to you.

It's been appearing everywhere for me recently, confirmation bias maybe. I've tried it a few times from a few places to see what it's all about; I don't get it at all, honey with chili flakes in - exactly how it sounds. It's like a BBQ sauce that's missing 90% of the ingredients.
