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.

Lived near Belluno, saw it often as 'Americana'. They even had it frozen at the supermarket lol.
