    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:

      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.

        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.

          The page also says the crust can be on the bottom and the filling on top

          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!)
