Pizza must be Italian :)
Pizza migrated to America with the Italians in the latter half of the 19th century. Pizza was introduced to Chicago by a peddler who walked up and down Taylor Street with a metal washtub of pizzas on his head, crying his wares at two cents a chew.
This was the traditional way pizza used to be sold in Naples, in copper cylindrical drums with false bottoms that were packed with charcoal from the oven to keep the pizzas hot.

I think that both originated in Italy. If it has anything to do with Pizza Or Pasta I think it's Italian. Not sure though, but that's just the way I've seen it.

Was pasta not invented in China and the idea brought to Europe by Marco Polo the famous traveler. While Italians make only wheat pasta, the Chinese made noodles out of several different types of cereals. I do not think the Chinese had access to or used tomatoes though, so the melding of tomatoes in a lot of Italian dishes seem to indicate that Italians were some of the first to adopt the love apple as a food staple.
