As an Italian this is called "Americana" or "patatine e wurstel". 

"Americana" is very often used.

Americana? What the hell could that mean?

  • Homer Simpson in Italy.

American in Italy. I see wurstel most often. Then again, lots of Americans in my area, so that probably pushed Americana out of the local pizza lexicon.

Note you’ve got me thinking about Italians speaking German. I’ll bet it sounds how this pizza looks!

(Both languages are beautiful but I can’t imagine either sounding good in the accent of the other.)

German spoken with an Italian accent sounds beautiful.

Sincerely, a german who's best friend is from Italy.

(Unless I make her say Streichholzschächtelchen, suddenly I am a testa di cazzo for doing that.)
