it is the pizza effect, it's just about how the specifics of pizza have shifted over time, not about the overall creation of the thing:

Idk man, Fettuccine Alfredo? But then I wasn't able to find information about it actually being popular in Italy.

This may just be a myth. The Wikipedia pages you linked seems to believe something anyway.
