Cool - at a cursory glance seams exaggerated.
First pizza is def not true unless we stipulate US. The glider seaplane one seems sketch also unless we’re being very specific about wording. First computer is also not the accepted timeline - you either count Babbage or wait till ENIAC in 43.

I thought the first truss bridge was in Hamden? I vaguely remember reading one of those city plaques, near town hall, that mentioned a truss bridge.

Yeah, most Italian immigrants lived in New York City because of Ellis Island before they came to New Haven so it doesn’t seem right for American pizza, either. I’m happy to be corrected though 🤷🏻♀️

Your right… Lombardis in New York is often given this honor… Frank Pepe’s started selling his tomato pies in the 20s… Lombary’s started 1903 or around then… and they are credited with also being the pizzería that created the idea of selling individual pizza slices as workers would wrap them in tin foil and eat el at lunch while at their construction jobs.
