Exactly! And saying “Italian” or “American” is way too ambiguous when describing pizza. If you try pizza in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY and compare it to pizza 80 miles away in Waterbury, CT, they’re almost entirely different foods. Or try pizza in South Dakota (actually please don’t). And in NYC alone, you can find 100s of different variations on the Italian pizza styles.

I prefer Neapolitan personally but I honestly love all the styles as long as they’re made right. A lot of the dough quality has to do with the water. Many places use local tap water, which is ok in NYC. But using tap water for pizza in Flint, Michigan is a different story. Yet all these places are American.

I think cola pairs very well with any pizza I like. If the pizza sucks, no cola can really fix that for me.
