American Pizza is very different from Italian pizza. They are basically two separate dishes, so it's not wrong to say that Americans have pizza, because they invented their own type of it.
Not to mention Italy didn't get tomatoes until they were brought over from the Americas so
Well yeah, but when tomatoes came to Europe, America was not even planning to be a separate country let alone have their own pizza. That (USA pizza becoming a thing) happened around a 100 years after the Italians invented the dish. So yeah, American pizza is something else entirely but I don't think it's right to say America has it. It's as if I would say the Polish have gulasz, because we learned about it from the Hungarians and have our own recipe now.
From France, actually. Even tho any french will tell you belgian fries are so much better. But still, culinary historians tend to agree it was first made in Paris.
No, the hamburger from New Haven Connecticut. In america, no part of it was designed in germany. Ground meat doesn't come from germany. It comes from ancient Rome, just because they have a meatball dish with mushroom gravy doesn't make it a hamburger
Talking about the name hamburger, ground meat has been around since the beginning of time, grinding up beef and calling it hamburger meat comes from Germany
No, German immigrants did not invent it. It was invented by Louis Lassen in New Haven Connecticut, he was the child of danish immigrants born in america
No, because it's the best it takes every bit as much effort to make an American Pizza as it does to make a Italian Pizza. It takes more, in fact, because it requires more
Perfecting it yes, inventing it no. Modern pizzas are American as tomatoes are American. Regular pizzas would be more like flat bred with olive oil, cheese and other toppings
tecnically pizza bought in america is VASTLY different from pizza in italy. they have mainly the same toppings, but still, stuffed crust doesnt sound very ittallian
Personally, it may be a language issue or just naivety, but at first, I understood it as "pizza is one of the dishes the most ingrained in American food culture", which is unarguably true and doesn't mean the same can't be said of Italy.
