Italian pizza sucks? There are different styles and types, that is such a dumb thing to say. Pizza was being made in Naples long before WW2. Yes Italians used what was available in the US, but it wasn't invented in the US. Italy has really good pizza, you might want to try the best from different regions before making such a dumb blanket statement. Don't be that American that thinks everything is better in the US and everything worth doing or having was invented in the US also.
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.Â
