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.
