Comment on The more you know
victorz@lemmy.world 8 months agoI 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.

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!

Haha yeah they look ridiculously deep. I can’t imagine how they wouldn’t be kind of soggy with all that filling but I guess it works. Seems to be popular, eh. Would love to try a slice.

I imagine a single or at most two slices would be a meal for an average adult, so maybe I’d actually get full from eating only one completele dish pizza 😂

I take it you aren’t an average adult then 😅
