In Italy, at “L’Isola della Pizza” in Rome, I asked the guy if I could get a pizza with salami, pepperoni, and sausage, and the guy was like “ah, American style!”
So, this was the only place that I personally found in Italy that even tolerated topping options for pizza, and I think they kind of went out of their way to accommodate Americans. Typically they have a limited selection of popular topping combinations; Margherita, bufala, etc., and you have to choose from that set. I think the place was unique in that way and they were pretty friendly about it.

Pepperoni is what gave it away
Also “sausage”, which is just a general term for all sausages in Europe
