Mostly just the part where you claim that “modern” pizza was invented in the US. Not a different food, not a variation with its own history - just straight up “modern” pizza. That’s a very sad and mildly insulting way to describe a global hit with Italian roots. Mass production alone doesn’t give any country the right to claim to have invented a food.
I can understand the frustration of tourists when they expect something different from the authentic version of a dish, even if that’s pretty unlikely with a dish that has so many different styles all over the world, but you make it sound like pizza, as a whole, is a US invention and Italy serves some antiquated precursor… Also, Italy serves many different kinds of pizza. No one should feel forced to go to the most traditional restaurant in Naples and order a pizza margherita, even though most people will probably like it.
I understood you. When people go to a country when coming from America and expect the authentic version to be the same as what they have been eating they will be disappointed. Its not a better or worse thing its just very different.
Italian food here is Italian-American and a lot of it has significantly evolved from what you would get in itally. It’s not authentic Italian it is however authentic Italian-American.
I’ll admit that I went on a bit of an ADHD-fueled rant on the end, but I thought I was reasonably clear.
Tell me what part of my comment you don’t understand, and I’ll be happy to explain it to you.
