I thought US pizza wasn't like Italian pizza?
But at the end of the day, it's still "pizza", no? With it's origins way back in the renaissance, and brought to America by Italian immigrants, who would've made it the way they did backin Italy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not to me. Much like I consider a patty Jamaican food and a Cornish pasty English food despite their apparent similarity. By the time the execution is complete they're different enough.

Neopolitains would consider it an insult to have their pizza compared to American pizza.

Anyway, didn't the Greeks invent pizza? You know, like how the Chinese invented pasta.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I defintely think barbeque and burgers. Also clam chowder, cornbread, tex-mex and chili.

That regional pizza styles link was interesting.
When I was in Italy, I did mostly just have pizza and pasta, but that was probably largely because we were there in the winter and there weren't very many vegetables available.
In the history of American warfare as told through food [link] , the US is hamburgers and fries, chicken nuggets, and a fried chicken sandwich. The UK is fish and chips. And all Arab countries are different kinds of kabobs. I was thinking that they ought to get something better than that -- you end up with a few scenes of kabobs fighting against other kabobs -- but realized that I really don't know enough about the food of the different countries to be able to think of a food that was distinctly Iraqi or Jordanian or whatever. (And the bagel with cream cheese and lox that they use for Israel is definitely American.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I had a bagel with cream cheese and lox (well, almost) for Chinese New Year, after being gifted with a ridiculous quantity of smoked salmon.
