Although I have not tried pizza from Italy, I have tried some in Germany. It was freaking delicious! It was thin and made from scratch. I do not eat that much and I managed to eat a WHOLE pizza! The taste was PHENOMENAL! Three different types of cheeses blended with flavor to make up a mouth-watering taste. The sauce and pepperoni were oh so good as well.

I have eaten pizza in 38 states and on 4 continents, over 20 foreign countries, including Italy. The best pizza I ever had was from a small place in Castelvolturno called the Black and White cafe. Magnifico!

It is different cause the crust is very thin, and harder more like a cracker with cheese and everyone eats it with a fork. I had a bunch when I was in italy. Oh and they have pepperoni there but not all the weird toppings we have here. They also are very sparing with the amount of toppings that go on the pizza. I did only have it in Rome Florence and a small place along the Amalfi Coast can't remember the name of the town.

Well, I don't know if pizza comes from Italy, though rumor has it that it does, but I've had pizza in Italy. It tastes like pizza in the States. And remember...Pizza Napoli will probably have anchovies in it.

Pizza as we know it is Italian-American. But there are forms of an herbed bread with cheese and vegetables in Italy which is where American GIs got the idea from when stationed in Italy. Naples is supposed to have the best. Roman bread is good, too.

It is first recorded in a Latin text from the southern Italian town of Gaeta in 997 AD, which claims that a tenant of certain property is to give the bishop of Gaeta 'duodecim pizze', "twelve pizzas", every Christmas day, and another twelve every Easter Sunday.
There has been much debate over the origin of the word itself but evidence suggests a common origin with the English words "(to) bite" and "(a) bit". English belongs, with German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian to the family of Germanic languages, all of which are decended from a remote common ancestor called 'Proto-Germanic'.
Italy in the second half of the first millennium AD was subject to the successive domination of two Germanic-speaking peoples, the Goths, who spoke an Eastern Germanic language, Gothic, now defunct, and the Langobards, whose language belonged to the same High Germanic group as modern German. "Pizza" is thought to derive from a Langobard word similar in form to the Old High German "bizzo" or "pizzo", a word related to English 'bite' and 'bit'. This word originally meant 'mouthful' (what you obtain by 'biting'), then later 'piece of bread' (the typical content of a mouthful)'. From there the sense of a particular type of bread-baked foodstuff is only a short hop. (In modern Italian the word has assumed a further life of its own, used metaphorically to denote the circular reel used on movie projectors and also--by a rather obscure development—a 'boring person', or a 'tedious, long-winded, speech'!)
Some scholars have sensed a connection between "pizza" and "pitta", a type of flat bread widespread in south-eastern Europe. In fact, it is possible that "pitta" reflects a form "petta" or "pitta" encountered in dialects of north-eastern Italy with the same meaning as "pizza", the Gothic equivalent of the Langobard word that gave rise to pizza.

What's real pizza to you.
I've had pizza in italy and it varies there just like it does here. In Rome they seem to favor really thin crust-- like cracker thin and often times made in a stone oven. Little olive oil on top.
I've also seen it as deep crust pizza (again in Rome).

Awesome. Very different. Lighter, very thin crust, fewer stonger flavors. One thing you might find interesting, they don't cut it - every pizza is a personal pizza and there are no small, medium, or large. It also differes depending on what part of the country you're in.

Pizza was invented in America by an Italian immigrant. American pizza is "real" pizza.

As the other respondent said, Pizza is an Italian-American invention. Not an Italian invention.
