Pizza was brought to the US by Italian emigrants. It's been here for a long time.

But it's popularity exploded post WWII. So many GI's were stationed in Italy and developed a love for all Italian food, particularly pizza. Pizza parlors sprung up all over the country.

We did Americanize the dish. We put a lot more stuff on pizza here than you commonly see in Europe. Some European countries put toppings on pizza we don't use too. The oddest pizza I ever had was in London, it had poached eggs and corn... But it was good!

According to Alton Brown pizza was a dish for poor people in Italy, much like street foods.

It's really popular here in the US.

Although it is popular across the U.S. to put lots of different toppings on a pizza and often in large amounts, the pizza style from New York which has become a reference point if not an archetype for American pizza is often made with few toppings as it is an impracticality for a thin, floppy pizza meant to be eaten by the slice, in hand, while standing on a hot summer sidewalk.

When I order a plain pie in New Mexico, people say, "What? Plain? why not get the 'Meat Lovers Pizza'. It has a half pound each of sausage, pepperoni, ground beef and an extra layer of cheese to hold all the meat on!!!"

But to answer the OPs question. Pizza has definitely become on of the core, mainstream foods in America, made and served in myriad ways.

We seldom eat pizza. We like it, but we like other things like fried chicken, shrimp, steak, hamburgers, etc.

It's way down our list of favorite foods.
