Pizza in this country has pretty much been the same for the past 50 years. IMHO it is American Pizza.

In 1961, while I was in the US Navy we sailed into Naples, Italy...spent 5 months there. We also went to Athens Greece. Pizza in Greece was much like American Pizza.

The Pizza in Naples was ...different. It was usually square. It had a "Dollop" of plain tomato sauce in the middle.... maybe a large tablespoon...on top of a LOT of OIL. There may have been some cheese. There was NO option for addons like peperonni, etc. Don't ask..it would be an insult..

The procedure for eating was to cut a large "X" in the middle of the crust..then lift the crust to drain the oil....then slice and eat...........with a knife and fork. ONLY Americans eat pizza with their fingers.

Just remembering the old days........

NB

BTW: Have you ever noticed how a lot of the good Pizza Places in the US are.. Greek.....???
