    No, our pizza is way more like Italian than it is American. I don’t know where you got your info from, but why would we copy USA if we could copy our neighbour one over?

      Because Pizza Hut is ubiquitous while Luigi’s Grease Emporium is a local dive. Go to Australia and find pizza. Go to Norway and find pizza. Go to Brazil and find pizza. Its all American.

        No? It looks more like this: Da Enzo is a nice quality local restaurant. Da Damiano is a pretty good local restaurant. Al Forno is the best but it’s like 2 m² and you can only get a pizza to go. [Those are not chains but pretty standard names or examples of names. You can find these or similar in europe]

        I haven’t been to Australia. Norway probably has a pizza hut at Oslo airport but it definitely has good Italian pizza.

        Argentina has a sizable population of Italian descent. I can imagine they and Brazil have good quality pizza. Thing is, if I were over there, I’d not be trying out different pizzas.

        Sure, you can have a pizza hut in a country. Doesn’t mean it’s the predominant style.

        There are McDs in Germany. You can still get a real Fleischbrötchen at any butcher’s or any supermarket with a butcher inside.
