Italian pizza varies by region but the common thing about it is that it
tends to be minimalist. The pizza that is commonly found in greater NYC
non-industrial pizza shops is a pretty faithful version of Italian
pizza. I read that the Chicago style pizza was the idea of someone there
to do an "American style" pizza to have something unique to market.

This is much the same as Benihana. It has almost nothing to do with
Japanese style food and was the invention of someone who came to the US.
