Regarding pizza of any stripe, it was unknown outside of ethnic  
neighborhoods
in large cities in the Upper Midwest. Pizza was foreign to those  
predominantly
North European immigrants and their progeny.  It wasn't until the  advent of
frozen pizza in the 1960's that pizza finally penetrated the frozen  North.
 
Of course, the ironic fact is that most pizza in the USA uses  Wisconsin
cheese.  A very large percentage of the entire state output of  milk
goes into pizza cheese.
 
I had pizza the first week of my freshman year at college.  I didn't  know 
what it was when my group of movie-goers stopped off a State Street
pizza parlor on our way back to the dormitories.  
 
I've said before that the worst coffee in the world is what passes  for
coffee in the USA Upper Midwest.  Those Scandinavians drink it  non-stop,
so they dilute it out to virtual nothingness.  It's really just  colored 
water.
 
My mother held out to the end with her infernal "percolator" coffee.
"Those filter-coffee outfits make the coffee too strong".
