To be honest, pizza in its best known iteration originally was from Naples and parts South. When Italian-American GI's (most were descended from immigrants from Southern Italy where they had pizza) were helping to rid Italy of Nazi's during WWII, they were aghast that places North of Naples didn't have pizza. These formerly pizza-free zones then started making pizza to sell to the GI's and thus to this day you can find pizza even in places as North as around Lake Como. So pizza is more American in Northern Italy than it is Italian.
I mean, not being that popular in the place it was invented doesn't mean Americans can claim to have invented it which is the subject at hand.
