Americans in Stuttgart
Stuttgart is home to American military sites, so many US citizens live and work here. Events around 4 July are also organised in the region.
How pizza reached America
Italian emigrants brought pizza to the USA in the 19th and 20th centuries. Lombardi’s in New York received a licence in 1905 and is regarded as the country’s first pizzeria. Neapolitan pizza later gave rise to American styles of its own.
