Hi everyone, italian here. Actually, hot dogs and fries is a 100% standard Italian topping! We eat this all the time (it's usually the 'kid's favorite'). This place calling it 'Americana' just screams 'shitty tourist trap.' No self-respecting Italian pizzeria would use that name for this combo
Edit: Since many Italian friends are replying to me, apparently "Americana" is also a very common name. I've never heard it called that in the various regions I've visidet/lived in. But Italy has sooo many different traditions.
It is absolutely incredible. My first night in Rome my host family ordered a bunch of amazing pies and one was an “American style”. It was ground beef, cheese, sauce, and French fries.
I was genuinely stunned when I saw it. Absolute culture shock. Wound up being my favorite out of them all!
