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.

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.

This is “literally can mean figuratively” level lunacy. If it’s not covered and 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?

I don’t really know what you’re referring to at this point.
I’m saying:
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.
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.
