What was pizza when it was invented? it was the fast food of the Italian proletariat. Most of the "true Italian pizza" you can find nowadays is going to be from an expensive bourgeois restaurant, or rarely from an actual Italian family place if you're lucky to live near one. "Authentic pizza" is mostly not consumed by members of the working class, so how it could it actually be a real example of that culture?
If your pizza aint come from some place with wall tiles that have been out of style for decades, I aint interested.
