You said it yourself, 'main ingredient'... sure, they made it into totally different forms, but they needed the idea first. :)
As for pizza, I really don't know where it was invented but it being America would certainly make sense...
And yeah, noodles aren't the greatest comparison. Oh well... but it is true that no matter if its actually American we still think of it as 'Italian'... like plenty of other foods invented here and attributed to others...
Pizza is 100% American, invented in New York City. It's not like Spaghetti which has a main ingredient from another country or Chinese food over here in the U.S. which barely resembles the foods they eat in China. It's completely American. Well, as American as any food can get aside from Native American food.
