Should Pizza exist in a "fantasy" setting?

And no, I don't mean like, some silly fantasy equivalent. I mean straight up, deep dish, regular crust etc, and because of my particular world, maybe even frozen.

Now I'm not set on calling a duck a duck, but due to the setting and tone of the story, Pizza (the item) wouldn't be that outlandish. I was going to have it that not many people have heard of it and it's only known by one of the clans. Also considering 'hot dogs' and 'hamburgers' too. There's a particular clan that's creative enough/outlandish enough to have concocted these things even in a fantasy setting, they have the tools too.

*shrug* Sauce, cheese and meat on bread. There's no reason it couldn't have been invented in a fantasy setting. Same with a sausage on bread or ground meat shaped into a patty on bread.

That said, Pizza has been around for a pretty long time, but it'd almost be unrecognizable to modern day.

EDIT: Though what the audience will accept is an important question which isn't always connected to what's actually historically accurate. You'd be surprised at just how old the name Tiffany is.

EDIT 2: Though if we're talking about portability and convenience then I believe that various forms of pies would be more common in ye olde times than a sandwich. Don't quote me on that though.

The audience is told out the gate that there is a magical clan known as the "L33T" clan and that if that doesn't tell them the intended tone of the story then I can't help em. Though I might have to reword how directly I say that. It's not an overtly serious story (Except when it needs to be, obviously) and a lot of the characters are simi-self aware. The audience is also told that despite the (mostly) comedic tone, it will be serious when plot requires seriousness.

The L33T Clan are pretty eccentric in one way or another (The Main Party member from there is almost always high on something) but they are powerful mages and they are a greater threat as enemies than as allies. Although it is part of the lore that most royalty/nobles don't like 'dealing' with them. That behavior kind of goes both ways though, cause these folks are naturally tense around Royalty and nobles.

My headcannon is that pizza exists in every setting, if only in our hearts.

Well, there was Pizza the Hutt.

True, and in fantasy Australia they have little joeys /silly.

If it is really a non-earth fantasy, and there was no reason to expect such similarity, that they might come up with paste on flat bread would not be surprising, but to call it pizza would seem unlikely.
