https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_pizza
Neapolitan pizza (Italian: pizza napoletana) is made with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. It must be made with San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius, and mozzarella Campana, the DOP (PDO in English) version can be made with buffalo mozzarella cheese, 'Mozzarella di Bufala Campana' made with the milk from water buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazio in a semi-wild state (this mozzarella is protected with its own European protected designation of origin).[1]
Not sure why you are blaming the EU for this. According to your link this is coming from an organisation called the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana. Regional foods and drinks all over the world try to protect their status as the original and most authentic and therefore the best. It's just marketing and quality assurance not bureaucratic interference.
Nothing is stopping you from buying cheap Japanese whiskey but you know that real whisky comes from Scotland.

You know there are Canadians here..

Europeans still think wine comes from The Continent, but it's been California for decades.

Pretty much this. It's just some sort of copyright, or brand recognition.

I mean I may not see all the faults in the EU that others might but there's no need to go looking to blame them for things which have nothing to do with them.
There is no shortage of things they do get wrong to get upset about after all.....

I love that, someone actually asking a politician hard questions without letting them dance around them with non-answers.

I love that in a few decades Britain will still exist, but the EU will be looked back upon with nostalgia the way Marxists pine for the USSR.

Except Britain probably won't still exist. Scotland is looking more and more likely to gain independence and NI are making loud noises about joining the republic in order to stay in the EU.

Similar to Vidalia onions,
A Vidalia onion (/vᵻˈdeɪliə/ or /vaɪˈdeɪliə/) is a sweet onion of certain varieties, grown in a production area defined by law of the U.S. state of Georgia and by the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
