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 😀

Never had deep dish, I take it?
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 8 months ago
I do, but I’m not sure that counts as pizza…

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.
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 8 months ago
Wikipedia is sometimes wrong, though. This is the relevant definition:
A baked food composed of a pastry shell **filled with **fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust
Meaning that a flat pizza wouldn’t count (those are toppings, not fillings) but a calzone technically would.

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.

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.

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.

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!”
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 8 months ago
Good point, but I’m actually not that. I’m starting to suspect that very few people actually are!
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
At’s-a sad.
