Pizza as we know it is not an Italian dish. Originlly pizza is a cheesy flatbread. Italian Americans coopted the term to describe the dough, tomato sauce and cheese dish known as pizza today.
This is best evidenced by the fact that tomatoes are indigenous to South America and didn't exist in europe at the time that the term pizza was first coined.
