It's amusing to read some of the early articles, such as one that appeared in the New York Times ("Pizza a pie Popular in Southern Italy, Is Offered Here for Home Consumption"), explaining to the mainstream what pizza is and heralding its availability as take-out in the US: https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1781097393301119360?lang=en https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1781097393301119360?lang=e...

I guess early on a lot of places called it that because people wouldn't know the word "pizza". Interesting how ubiquitous it's become in a relatively short amount of time.
