I think it's fair to say that when people reference "X country's Y is awful" they are generalising. The US obviously has examples of decent chocolate, pizza, cheese etc. I do think you should be able to compare the average experience: If you drive around the US and visit pizza places on the way vs doing the same while driving around Italy. If you go to the main US supermarkets and pick up an assortment of different US chocolate brands to try vs doing the same in, say, Belgium.
