Is there a catchy way to say "si pensa Italia, si dice pizza" ?
An option could be "When/If you think of Italy, the first word that usually comes/springs to mind is...PIZZA"
but isn't it somewhat lengthy ?
TIA

I think it works, but it's not quite the same! Depends on the context you're working in.
