"Tall" NY-style pizza can be found in Italy as a kind of fast food, especially around Milan, but it developed independently. Cuisine in Italy is extremely regionalized. Pizza has only been a "national" food for perhaps 50 years. At home we cook pizza perhaps once every week or two, but when my grandparents were young, it wasn't even a word here in the North. 30 years ago pizza was never in my school's menu, while nowadays they have it. On the other hand, I have never tried Chicago-style pizza, because it's just not a thing here. I am actually really curious about it, and would like to taste it---perhaps unlike most of my fellow countrymen.
