Kitchen serves Caesar salad that was created 100 years ago in Tijuana by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini when his hotel restaurant was short on ingredients.

It also serves "Kilpatrick", which is oysters served with "Grilled finely chopped bacon with Worcestershire, BBQ, Dijon, ketchup, Tabasco, lemon juice and smoked paprika".

Precursors to pizza used things like dates and other fruits as toppings.

The menu has meat all over it, which to me reads more like an Italian-American thing where meat over here was super cheap and thus became increasingly incorporated into Italian dishes.

And of course modern pizza uses a key ingredient not even available until it was brought back from the New World.

But sure, this is a step too far and an affront to his culture.

    Wait until this guy hears how many pizzarias are run by Greek folks, rather than Italians. His heart will explode, I'm sure.

    We have a pretty large amount of pizzarias owned by people with turkish roots here too! They often also offer Kebap, and some even provide Kebap Pizza.

    It's not even Kebap pizza, it's a traditional Turkish dish, called Lamakhun (spelling? ) that probably predates pizza. It's often called Turkish pizza, so that people unaware of the dish can understand the style.
