In Italy?

Yes. If you go to any major city in Italy, you will probably see as many pizza shops as you would in Manhattan. They are just rectangular and sold by weight. All sorts of varieties too! A little different than you would find stateside, but unmistakeably pizza nonetheless. What you won't find in Italy are meatballs.

They sell hotdogs from ecoli carts in every major city in America, I sure hope we're not identified by that though.

No unfortunately our legacy in Europe is McDonalds, Burger King, and Starbucks.

What really kills me is that we actually saw some Pizza Hut shops in Italy. I really don't understand that marketing genius.

We will probably get to WDW in late October, so I'll make it a point to try out the transitional menu at Tutto Italia.
