The fact that you've managed to visit the birthplace of pizza, discover that it doesn't cater to your particular tastes, and conclude that an entire country doesn't know how to make its own food is quite something.

New York?

You do realize that pizza literally isn't from Italy right? It was invented by Italian Americans.

    You must be confusing the invention of New York-style pizza with the invention of pizza itself?

    Pizza was being eaten in Naples in the 1700s, and the city had established pizzerias decades before Italian immigrants introduced it to New York in the late 19th century.

    New York-style pizza is an American adaptation of an existing Italian dish. How on earth do you think Italian Americans came to be making pizza in New York in the first place? 😂

    It's quite impressive to be this confidently wrong about something that's so trivially easy to verify. I assume you read it on a menu. Dont learn facts from menus lmfao.
