Italian "pizza" sucks.
Modern pizza originates in the US, so I don't know why the fuck anyone would go to Italy and expect it to be better.
To be fair, it was Italian immigrants who invented what we know as pizza today, but Chinese immigrants also brought Chinese food to America as well—and if you go to China expecting the same kind of food there, prepare to be disappointed (especially if you don't live in an area with a large Asian population. I do so I can assure you that authentic Chinese is completely different. Same for pizza.)
Edit: Why are you booing me? I'm right.
Because the authentic version of any cuisine is usually preferred over the americanised one by anyone who isn't from the US.
There are plenty of Italian-American foods I enjoy and I usually like both versions. New York style pizza is delicious, as is Neapolitan Pizza Margherita. It's fine to have your preferences, but it annoys me when people mistakenly claim the derivation as the original invention.
