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.
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.

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.

I understand that. That’s why I was asking the person that made the claim to clarify.

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).
