The 1953 movie The Band Wagon mentions pizza, and 1949's On he Town shows a pizzeria. I know I've heard a 1940s old radio show that mentions tacos, but I think pizza as well. Dean Martin had a hit song in 1953 That's Amore mentions pizza. In the early 50s food critics were worried that pizza would supplant the hot dog as the country's favorite food, so their must have been some penetration before that.

That’s when pizza first hit US. The first time I heard of it was early 50’s. Heard pizza pie for dinner one night and thought it was a pie pie. Looking for sweets which I dearly loved but was shocked at the reality!!

“I never even heard of pizza until the 1950s.”
For me, growing up in a small farm town, I never heard of it until the ‘60s. I hated it at first; it just seemed like a weird mish-mosh of stuff.
Now it’s one of my faves.
