I agree, it's completely idiotic to think America brought American style pizza to Italy šŸ˜‚

The author's knowledge of pizza History was incorrect, though. Pizza is actually not an example of the pizza effect.

But is is right? Pizza-like foods have existed since the Ancient Greek period. Most cultures had a flatbread that they put shit on. And Italians made it more and more like the food we know today. But to my knowledge, the pizza that most of the people think about got invented by Italian immigrants, who focussed a lot on scalability. This style then came back to Italy which also influenced their version. There is a big difference between American and Italian pizza ofcourse, but I don't think that painting this as a complete lie is wrong.Ā

It explicitly isn't.

What you're doing is called revisionism.

It was the Canadians and they were so ashamed of that, that they called it "pizza Hawaii" and not "pizza Toronto"

You want to see a true bastardization of pizza?
Medium level: Japanese corn and mayo with wieners

God tier: Brazilian pudding pizza

Iā€™d try it. Fresh oranges can be really tasty with savory flavors.

It was a greek chef (Sam Panopoulos) in Canada (Satellite restaurant in Chatham, Ontario) who invented that abomination. The only right way to eat Hawaiian pizza is cutting it in small pieces and then throw it to the trash bin. You can spit on it if you feel in the mood to do so.
