Pizza is Neapolitan. It’s a distinct speciality of Naples, developed at at time when Italy didn’t even exist as a nation. Saying pizza is Italian is like saying haggis is British. It might be technically true, but not really.

amazing

It's not even true lol, first recorded usage of word "pizza" is from Gaeta in Latium and historically similar food appeared in many cultures going back as far as VI century BCE Persian Empire and possibly even to ancient Troy.
