Table space. The footprint of the pedestal can be much smaller than the pizza.

I have not had the pleasure

fwiw I don’t think the issue is that tables are smaller in the US vs Europe, it’s more likely that there’s more to fit on the table since portion sizes and appetizers are much bigger

I cannot made to believe this. Have you ever been to an Italian town and have you seen the narrow streets they have there? Yes? OK
