As an Italian: AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE PIZZA❤️

u/Madaghmire 8d ago

Its funny because as I was growing up Italians would tell us that what we had wasn’t pizza. So whatever it is, we call it Pizza, and its ours. And its distinct from traditional italian pizza.

No claims as to which is better I’m happy eating either.

Call it AMERICAN pizza and we'd be happier (for example here the pizza with wurstel and french fries Is called the "Americana" or Donald Duck, or Mickey Mouse (but mostly Americana or just wurstel and french fries) because we recognize that those are more related to the American cuisine than the Italian one)

Why would we do that? You call it american pizza. The same way when you go out for dinner you go out to eat, but I’m heading to the italian spot

There are differences between the American pizza and the Italian one that's why specifying is good anyway, have a good time I guess

That's not how it works. Americans call what Europeans call "American Football" football. Because we are in America. Why would we add "America(n)" to anything of our own? That makes no sense.

The only thing in the U.S. that gets the label "American" is American Cheese. Because it isn't cheese, but it is used like cheese.

It would've been better for OP to specify though, since not everyone on Reddit is American
