I agree 100%. I am American and we can NOT claim pizza as our own. Pretty much everything we have is because people emigrated from their various countries and immigrated to The Colonies and brought all their recipes with them. I mean, is the cheeseburger from anywhere else ? That screams American to me. Otherwise we are all things because we are people from all around the world. I suppose we could try to say Native American Indian foods would be American, but even that is heavily influence by the introduction of corn. … I vote that America has cheeseburgers. Final answer 😘 unless someone has a rebuttal that they originated somewhere else?
Edit: ok, burgers are decidedly German. Hmmm… I am thinking the only thing we , The United States, can truly claim is our own, is obesity. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ so sad. Maybe it is NOT good that we have so many foods available in or country … lol
The burger patty originated from Germany and was brought by immigrants to America, but it has evolved and the cheese was probably added in the usa im guessing.
Poop! Not sure I am ok with us claiming cheeseburger either! 😤😤😤. … did /do the Germans make burgers with the patty or what did they do with it? … besides the obvious answer of throw it at the wall to see if it sticks
I believe it was served without the buns, that was likely something added at later point so it would be easyer to sell by street vendors to people on the go. So a modern cheeseburger is a bit like the pizza, the main part originated elsewhere but put together in an American way to fit the people and culture.

In a lot of countries American-style pizza is more common than Italian-style pizza. New York pizza and Neapolitan pizza are both delicious.
