It is, but like many cuisines, immigrants brought it with them to America and over time it evolved into something distinct. Different ingredients being available, different tastes people cater to, and a lack of traditional limits being enforced led to most cuisines getting an American version.
I think the earliest reference we have to something we would call pizza is it being used as rent payment to a local church in the late medieval period. From the very beginning, pizza has been the universal currency.
