I'm originally from Ohio and they definitely know what a taco is. That must have been an isolated missed word. I don't remember going to many Mexican restaurants while there in my youth though. I remember maybe once or twice eating Mexican food outside of what my mother made for us at home on occasion, which was you guessed it, taco's.

Pizza was based on a Naples dish involving flatbread with toppings including cheese. However, a dish very much like pizza was recorded in 997 AD in the town of Gaeta. There is a nice Wikipedia article on it. And from historical evidence, I'm afraid your disbelief instinct is wrong. Italians ARE credited with both the early snack of melted cheese on flatbread and the later, more complex composition from the 18th & 19th centuries. Yes, the Italians came up with a very unhealthy dish.
Not disputing pizza is Italian but what is fun is the way every town down the Amalfi coast claims it is them who invented it!
