    Is the argument that traditional Italian pizzas are expensive and eaten for an occasion and only the rich can afford to regularly eat woodfire pizzas while American slices are proletarian food?

      No, the argument is that Pizza was a southern italian proletarian food:

      Before the war, Grandi tells me, pizza was only found in a few southern Italian cities, where it was made and eaten in the streets by the lower classes.

      Someone else is gonna have to work out how that makes it not italian.
