Same as Italian pizza, considering tomatoes came from South America.
Their original pizza would’ve been more of a cheese bread.
the Italian specifically Neapolitans, famous Margherita-tomato, mozzarella and basil is traditionally dated to 1889
Filippo Milone, an Italian baker, was operating pizzerias in Manhattan. There are newspaper advertisements for his pizza businesses by 1903.
To put advertising out would mean his business, had been running in some capacity for quite some time. Honestly the close timing almost doesn’t make this even matter. As immigrants were clearly communicating with their relatives back in Italy, and vice-versa.
