Pizza was created in Italy, but it quickly spread to the US. Even if it’s the same plate in both countries, they don’t cook it the same way, and we can find a lot of differences when we taste them. Also on the appearance. Some differences are:

• The sauce: Italian pizza recipe is made of olive oil and fresh tomatoes, garlic and oregano, we all know that. Meanwhile, the American pizza has tomato sauce and it’s slow cooked. They usually make it spicy. 
• The crust: both pizzas have a thick crust. The difference is that when you eat the Italian one it doesn’t result heavy because the dough is very light, while this doesn’t happen with the American pizza.
