I am an American chef, living in Italy for almost 40 years now. Having eaten what Italians call American food... not getting what you expect is sad. So,if you use the Italian word pizza.. i hope to get italian pizza. There are other pizza like flatbreads with wild creative toppings but not what you would expect to be "pizza"- so .... ..When I moved here I ordered a peperoni pizza. It was covered in bell peppers... which are peperoni here.

It might be utterly delicious (I'd happily eat it) but I wouldn't call it a pizza. Isn't pizza by definition Italian? Isn't' it more than just a flat crust with stuff on top? So, I'm a "no". As they say, "you can put a kitty in the oven, but that doesn't make it a biscuit".
