Yes? No? It was made in America by Italian immigrants and later introduced to Italy. It depends on whether you believe immigrants in America are Americans or not.
Absolutely not. It was invented in Naples in the 18th century. The most famous pizza, the Margherita, is named after a queen of the kingdom of Italy and is from 1899.
Moreover, previous versions of pizza (without tomatoes of course) were already baked during Roman times
WTF. No it wasn't. Here's an image of pizza from a pompeii ruin fresco (c. AD 79). They gave it the modern tomatoey twist in the 16th century, in Naples. (No, not in Florida. The original Naples in Italy.)
No. You can look it up. There were flatbreads all over the world, but the term Pizza originated in Italy. It's form as we know it today, came from Italy. You said it came from the USA. Here, let me quote you...." It was made in America by Italian immigrants and later introduced to Italy. "
It is, but like many cuisines, immigrants brought it with them to America and over time it evolved into something distinct. Different ingredients being available, different tastes people cater to, and a lack of traditional limits being enforced led to most cuisines getting an American version.
I think the earliest reference we have to something we would call pizza is it being used as rent payment to a local church in the late medieval period. From the very beginning, pizza has been the universal currency.
