New York is full of the more traditional base but different toppings. Lots of places in Australia are also doing the same. But grand parent is right. The popular vision of pizza is what Italian immigrants exported from the US not what was exported from Italy. And if you want to play the numbers game, go to Asia and ask them what a pizza is. I’m not sure many people prefer the Chicago deep dish style or “Sicilian pizza”. I’ve not tried either. But dominos and Pizza Hut seem to be some in between thing. Edit: Rereading mlidners comment and other comments, it's a bit too dismissive of Italian pizza. Italian pizza is still pizza. It's just that American pizza is also pizza. And Swedish pizza is pizza. This is what happens when food is popularised and spread across the world.
