But- and hear me out- what if you are a stereotypical Italian chef with a big mustache and a chef’s hat and you send it out to the customer? You gotta say, “at’s-a good pizza pie!”
Read further. The page also says the crust can be on the bottom and the filling on top/inside, as well as crust on top, filling underneath, or both (calzone). So a deep dish pizza is a pie, technically.
Ok, I may have gotten a bit* carried away with the “covered” requirement, but toppings are still not fillings and it’s not a pie if it doesn’t have filling(s).
I don’t really know what you’re referring to at this point.
I’m saying:
A regular flat pizza is not a pie. It does not have a casing, and the “filling” is a topping, as you say.
A (Chicago-style) deep-dish pizza is a pie (more-so than a pizza in my opinion but whatever) because it has a bottom crust with filling on top (a pie according to Wikipedia). That’s not lunacy. It’s right there on Wikipedia, with even a link to Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
A calzone is a pie because it has crust both on top and on the bottom (surrounding the filling), as well as filling inside.
This is not “lunacy”. It’s just reading a definition and interpreting things to fit the definition. 🤷♂️ If you think that’s lunacy I’d hate to tell you about Pluto. A pie with crust on the bottom is very common. Meat pies, and pastry pies, among many others. Crust on bottom is common, crust on top is common. Crust all around is common… Not lunacy.
I’m going to refrain from talking about hotdogs, because I’ve yet to look up the definition of a sandwich, but I’d rather not at this point lol.
Researching Chicago style deep dish pizzas, it would seem that I wasn’t aware of just HOW deep they are. Yep, that’s a pie. I think we’re in full agreement, actually!
Get to Chicago, and don’t shy away from spinach. That shit’s delicious. I’m a fan of Giordano’s, but there’s a lot of valid argument about who does it best.
A deep dish pizza and a calzone are both technically pies as far as I can tell. They have a surrounding casing of crust. A flat pizza would not be a pie.

This is the absolute ONLY case where it’s acceptable to call a pizza a pie. That being said, well done to the memesmith 😀

Good point, but I’m actually not that. I’m starting to suspect that very few people actually are!
At’s-a sad.
Never had deep dish, I take it?
That’s not really pizza OR pie…
It’s actually a pie though. It has a surrounding crust casing as well as a filling, which qualifies it as a pie according to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is sometimes wrong, though. This is the relevant definition:
Meaning that a flat pizza wouldn’t count (those are toppings, not fillings) but a calzone technically would.

This is “literally can mean figuratively” level lunacy. If it doesn’t have FILLINGS rather than TOPPINGS, it’s simply not a pie.
Next you’re gonna tell me that a hotdog is a sandwich (please fucking don’t!)
Where does that put key lime pie and lemon meringue pie? Or pumpkin pie and pecan pie? Are they not pies because they’re not covered?
Pies don’t have to be covered, no. They can have their casing on the bottom.
Ok, I may have gotten a bit* carried away with the “covered” requirement, but toppings are still not fillings and it’s not a pie if it doesn’t have filling(s).

It’s kinda like a delicious pizza cake.
That I’ll accept lol
Not OP, but I never have, and not sure if I can get any in my area, but I would like to try it some day.

Wrong side of the ocean. I’m not gonna take an eight hour flight to try out a pizza that’s more of a casserole.
Oh yeah, definitely not worth it. 😂

Agreed. This guy pies.
I’m pieing all over you mfs. 😎🍕
