Who thinks Pizza is Italian food? lol?

Question

It is American USA food, not Italian food - you jackass

Answer 1

I hope nobody. Pizza originates from China.

Answer 2

Thank for the totally unnecessary insult, very clever.

however, if you are going to insult people you need to be sure of your facts, just so you don't look like a JA.

Pizza has been cooked in Italy since before you lot were playing cowboys and indians, so don't give us any of that rubbish about it being a USA food.

When the italian community expanded in New York they started making Pizza, but its a much heavier food than the original Italian Pizza.

.....so, I'm thinking that makes it Italian food....

No doubt there are American version of history that state its from the USA when it isn't , but thats true of so many inventions in your USA-centric inwardly looking country.

So, who's the JA now, eh ?

Answer 4

Sorry to dissapoint you, but Pizza actually did come from Italy ... unless of course you think that in the 3rd century BC Americans were capable.
Pizza only appeared in America in the 19th Century from Italian immigrents.
So who is the jackass now ?

Answer 5

When I was in the Navy, I had the pleasure of spending several months in various cities in Italy. What passes for pizza there is ...disappointing to say the least. It is a round loaf of bread about 9" across and about 3" high, with a little olive oil and a dab of pesto brushed on top and then quick-baked in a stone oven. It tasted okay, but there was no choice of toppings, and no cheese. The pizza we know here in the U.S. was actually "invented" by an entrepreneur in New York city, Loading a doughy sheet with tomato sauce,cheese, and Italian spices. Note: It was several years later that you were able to buy a "slice".

Answer 6

Yes it was invented in New York by...
surprise! Italian in migrants!
So...who is the Jackass!

Answer 7

It takes one click on the net to make sure you aren't about to make a total fool of your self.

"Invented in Italy, pizza first made its appearance in the United States with the arrival of Italian immigrants in the late 19th century. This was certainly the case in cities with large Italian populations, such as San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia where pizza was first sold on the streets of Italian neighborhoods. In late 19th century Chicago for example, pizza was introduced by a peddler who walked up and down Taylor Street with a metal washtub of pizzas on his head, crying his wares at two cents a chew. This was the traditional way pizza used to be sold in Naples, in copper cylindrical drums with false bottoms that were packed with charcoal from the oven to keep the pizzas hot. It wasn't long until small cafes and groceries began offering pizzas to their Italian-American communities.

The first "official" pizzeria in America is disputable, but it is generally believed to have been founded by Gennaro Lombardi in Little Italy, Manhattan. Gennaro Lombardi opened a grocery store in 1897 which later was established as the first pizzeria in America in 1905 with New York's issuance of the mercantile license."

P.S. To the girl that said that her teacher stated pizza is French... French people also said they were going to win the World Cup LOL
