Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.
I know it's a meme, but this is a dumb take. You're comparing two very different things, and they serve two different purposes. Sometimes you want to crush some fast food at 2 am after drinking at the pub, sometimes you want to have really good pizza where less is more and the quality of the ingredients matter. Eat both and be happy you have pizza.
