Have you even read the article? The author did not bother to read the source that claims this. And since they argue about tomato sauce, it leads me to believe this is mostly about the pizza we eat today rather that pizza in general. And the fact that tomato sauce inly became a staple of pizza is not new either. Much like how mashed potatoes with Sauerkraut is very much of German origin, it only came about in the late 18th century. Similarily with pizza. The dish existed way before tomatoes were a thing in Italy. The romans already made dishes that were very close to pizza. And since many countries have something close to pizza, I’d wager it is the recipe for the dough that is unique to pizza, not the fact that there’s tomatoe sauce on it.
Also, no where outside of the USA have I seen deepdish pizza. You can claim origin for that for all I care.

Did you not read the part where I said “the modern dish, ‘Pizza’”?
I did, but not every modern Pizza has tomato sauce as a base sauce.
