Pizza is American
Okay, there’s quite a bit to unpack here, so please bear. The original tweeter claims that even though Italy is the second-most infected country, nobody’s going to avoid eating pizza like they do Chinese takeout. News flash, genius: Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and mom n’ pop pizza shops don’t import their pizzas from Italy, so why would they? On that point, Chinese takeout restaurants don’t source their ingredients from China, so in reality, everyone is dumb.
Now, to claim that pizza is American is a cardinal sin in the food world. Sure, pizza was the first kind of food to be delivered in the US, but that doesn’t make it American. Pizza is Italian, but again, it doesn’t have to be made in Italy to be considered Italian.
