I love my pizza, so I had to go with north america.

Are you kidding me? Pizza is italian.

Shhhh.... don't tell him that, you don't wanna destroy his childhood, do you?

Pizza evloved kind of differently, I'm pretty sure it's made quite differently in Italy.  And also, Germans brought the meat for hamburgers, but served them up as thick steaks, nothing like how hamburgers are today.  Same with hot dogs I think.  My first post has a number of things that justify North America qualifying.

As far as I can tell, you Yanks took all the European dishes and made them larger, more fattening and generally less healthy than their European counterparts. Pizza for instance, generally has a lot more cheese when done American style. I don't think they're significantly different to be able to say Pizza is North American. Even in America, a good quality Pizza is likely to be found in an Italian style Pizzeria.

Look up the history of an actual hamburger.  Pretty sure it was in New York near the ports.  For pizza, I believe the dough is different and perhaps seasoning, not sure.  And the people cooking the pizza in those places aren't necessarily Italian, there are lots of amazing places in NY at least and many people can make it.  N.A. has done a lot of things...

My post was half joking so I wouldn't be that suprised about the hamburger. I actually quite like Texan food and some of the sauces you guys make are delicious (and I'm still pissed all the Chillis resturants in the UK have closed down).

Pizza on the other hand, like I said isn't significantly different from the original Italian pizza. It doesn't matter who makes the pizza, it's still a very Italian food. I've had decent Indian style currys and Italian lasagnes made by English people and with slightly altered recipes from the traditional methods. Doesn't stop the curry from being Indian and the lasagne being Italian.
