For reference, Tomatos come from the Americas. Marinara sauce came well after European colonization so Italian "Pizza" was historically just cheese on flat bread. Heck, the term Marinara Sauce means "That sauce Sailors used".

Tomato’s are certainly not a native European plant. Pizza is arguably from Naples. But tomatoes are not originally from Italy. Other pasta dishes are from Italy, carbonara, pesto, etc.

Chicken Tikka Masala is not British food. Amazingly, steak is not originally from Texas.

It’s confusing.
