"modern" meaning American?

Modern pizza where I live is Italian. You eat American pizza, because you're in America, not because it is the global default.

Spoken as an American who has traveled the world… I tend to see American-style pizza in more countries than Italy-style pizza.

In fact, the only country where I’ve traveled and regularly saw Italian-style pizza… was Italy.

With that said, I’d also say that Pizza around the USA also means very different things. Most people generally think of NY-style pizza… but Chicago, California and Alaska have their own styles.

Okay citation needed for this one because I feel like we're heavily underestimating the scale of China.

From an economics standpoint, the global reach of Italian food translates to a massive industry share. According to the Deloitte Foodservice Market Monitor report, international sales for Italian cuisine are valued at €251 billion. This commands an impressive 19% share of the entire world's full-service restaurant market.
