In the US, we have no national dish - more like regional dishes.
Even pizza, which might be considered a national dish, has so many variations - NY thin crust, Chicago deep dish, Frank Pepe's white clam pizza in Connecticut, California with whatever weird things they put on pizza out there.
Some regional favorite dishes where I'm at:
Hoagies
Cheesesteaks
Taylor's Ham (aka pork roll)
Scrapple
Panzerotti
In my travels, I've seen some different dishes:
Australia - the ubiquitous meat pie. And this bakery in a little town that serves the most amazing Vietnamese meat rolls - their banh mi are the best I've had anywhere in the entire world.
Japan - pizza with mayo, squid ink, corn, or whole chickens on it. And KFC and a cake for Christmas...
