You are aware that the tomato is a fairly recent import to Europe, right?
Yes, I am aware that they came from North America. It was in the mid-1500s, which I consider quite a while ago, and prior to that, they made olive oil or cream based sauces.
It took Italy 300 years to make a tomato sauce to pair with pasta.
There is no historical evidence of pizza in Italy until after it was created in the US.
