Italy has two national dishes. One is pasta, and the other is Pizza! So I would say pizza is very important in Italy. In fact I went to Italy last month and once you have just a bite of their pizza you never feel the same about this simple and delicous food again! YUM!

No, pasta is.

The pizza that Americans enjoy is nothing like that is found in Italy. The types I found lacked the tomato sauce, but I know that they use it. Most I encountered were simple "thin" rounds of bread with meat (sausage, ham, pepperoni, or anchovies) and vegetables (onion and bell peppers). They are placed on the round of dough and then brushed with olive oil. The cooking is essentially the same as our pizza, high temperature for a short time on a stone.

So, comparing our pizza with theirs is very difficult. I can say one thing: their pizza is more often eaten for lunch than dinner.
