Who (Whom) actually created pizza? The Italians as most believe, or was it really the Greeks?

Italy. It's the Italians who set up pizza shops when they came to the US.

My Archaeology professor would have mentioned ancient Grecian pizza if it had been a fact. He did not.

It is not nice to speak ill of the dead. The man spoke fluently about 10 languages. He lived in Greece and Rome to name but a few "dig sites". Dr. J. Benson had two PhDs in the field. Hey, boo-boo, maybe I did not remember everything. 
P.S. I would never post my real dance photo.

There is a story in China that suggests pizza is an adaptation of the scallion pancake, brought back to Italy from China by Marco Polo. Marco Polo missed scallion pancakes so much that when he was back in Italy, he tried to find chefs willing to make the pancake for him. One day, he managed to meet a chef from Naples at a friend's dinner party and persuaded him to try recreating the dish. After half a day without success, Marco Polo suggested the filling be put on top rather than inside the dough. The change, by chance, created a dish praised by everyone at the party. The chefs returned to Naples and improvised by adding cheese and other ingredients and formed today's pizza.
Historical evidence in Europe suggests that pizza was not transmitted to Europe by Marco Polo, but existed in the Mediterranean long before his time. The first recorded use of the word "pizza" dates from 997 AD (in a Latin text from the town of Gaeta in Southern Italy), more than 250 years before Marco Polo was born.
