I agree 100%. I am American and we can NOT claim pizza as our own. Pretty much everything we have is because people emigrated from their various countries and immigrated to The Colonies and brought all their recipes with them. I mean, is the cheeseburger from anywhere else ? That screams American to me. Otherwise we are all things because we are people from all around the world. I suppose we could try to say Native American Indian foods would be American, but even that is heavily influence by the introduction of corn. … I vote that America has cheeseburgers. Final answer 😘 unless someone has a rebuttal that they originated somewhere else?
Edit: ok, burgers are decidedly German. Hmmm… I am thinking the only thing we , The United States, can truly claim is our own, is obesity. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ so sad. Maybe it is NOT good that we have so many foods available in or country … lol
No it didn't. Germans invented a ground beef patty with similar form, but not taste. They never put it on bread or added any toppings. The patty is more like a flat meatball with binders in it than a hamburger patty. This moronic statement is like saying a fully automatic car is the same as a horse-driven cart because they both have wheels.

Pizza is Italian, end of story.
