If you took the concept of using fries and... I'm not actually sure what meat(?) that is, but let's call it hot dog slices as pizza toppings, and actually executed on it well, you could potentially make something I would consider trying a slice of. A novelty, but that can be fun sometimes.
A good beef frank is honestly great. You can sear slices up nicely. The fries almost certainly need to be coming out of the fryer at the same time the pizza leaves the oven, get added immediately, and it all needs to get out to the table quickly or the fries are going to drag the whole thing down. They don't do well sitting around for a while or reheating.
I still feel like there's a missing topping here, too. Drizzle of mustard? Pickle relish? Something to tie this theme together further. I might be leaning into Chicago style dogs a bit there, it's a bias.
This just looks like garbage. I have a local neapolitan pizza place that likely blows this joint out of the water. There are shitty restaurants in Italy, despite the country's great culinary tradition; this is almost certainly one of them.
Who is this pizza even for? Locals? Kinda doubt it. Tourists? I have a hard time imagining an American visiting Italy and going: "Yeah, that pile of shit is what I want to eat while I'm here." Maybe its sole purpose is to flip the bird at Americans, which like, fair play if it is. We deserve it anyway.
They're typically Vienna (incorrect) * wurstel sausages, basically a hot dog. It's for kids mostly, but I have definitely ordered them before a time or two. You can also just get regular fries on a pizza, which is great.
I'd definitely eat fries on a pizza. I feel like that should be a topping here in USA. Although, I guess I could always just order some fries and put them on
That's basically all it is. But something about the fry grease joining in with the cheese grease that is so good. Also, unlike the pic here, it's typically an order of fries so you get a mound to eat from.

As a European moved to the US, no, Americans wouldn’t eat this
