Outside of metropolitan urban areas where there
were sizable Italian enclaves, pizza was unknown
to much of the USA a half a century and more ago.
 
This was certainly the case in the Upper Midwest
when I was young.  I had my first taste of pizza as a
college freshman in 1955.  I didn't know what it was
(as did a couple of others in my social group) but
tried it anyway.  I did not immediately like pizza.
 
So, I guess I'd just say that the USA largely did just
fine without widespread consumption of pizza which
has become popular only in the past 50 years.
