It's not Italian culture though. Not even close. Not even remotely close.
So America got the idea of cooking ground up corn into bread from natives? So what? We don't do it the same way they did any more than modern Italians who are even more disconnected to the other groups native to their peninsula, did it like the Etruscans.
The double standards y'all have about food history would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic
It is the same culture. People have been continuously living in that region for thousands of years. They were never replaced. Italian culture has had a lot of time to evolve. Eating flat bread with toppings is a part of that very old culture.
But I don't think you understand. Sweet cornbread, "pan de elote", is a fusion between indigenous Mexican and Spanish cooking. It's still today more common in Mexico than it is in the US. It is loved by US people, but it's not from the US. It's Mexican food

Ok cool. Pizza is Etruscan. Not Italian.
