Wikipedia says the first New York pizzeria opened in 1905. I guess this is another example of the times being behind the curve on cultural developments? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomb…
I discovered that while New Yorkers still refer to a pizza as a “pie,” elsewhere in the country, people are perplexed if you order “a pie of pizza” or ask for a “pie of cheese and another with pepperoni.”
