Reply to comment by EccoEco in [I Ate] A New York slice by girouxfilms

Italian cuisine and Italian-American cuisine diverged 100 years ago.

This is Italian-American pizza from NYC. We get it, you're Italian. No one cares.

Which is something that americans bring up only when It's convenient to them, now I am sorry, as I said I should have held my tongue, but it's simply true, due to many reasons, quality of ingredients, usage and quantity of oil and fats, and many other factors, american style pizza is almost universally going to look cheap when compared to the original. Sorry for having stated it, I really am, damn I should have known better not to hit this hornet nest, but honesty at this point why not take a chip off my shoulder can you imagine if all country were this much entitled when it came to their own version of foreign food? Damn, for example, although this is not as wellknown by nonitalians, italian migration didn't just happen in the states, the Southern American Talianos exist too, and tbf not only Is their food much better but we are in much better relationship with them due to the much less adversarial nature of our relationship.

Is this an authentic Italian copypasta?

It's an American copypasta trying to be Italian. It's just slightly off for nebulous reasons that I refuse to explain.
