Pizza is a tomato pie.

  Tomato pie is already a thing.

  And it is indeed suspiciously similar to deep dish pizza.

    But people get mad if I say their tomato pie is just a type of pizza

    TIL that tomato pie is a thing. And I want it not to be.

  Well, yeah, people have been calling pizzas pies for a long time.

  Deep dish especially.

  Weird thought - pizza dates to 997 CE, that’s over 500 years before tomatoes were introduced in Italy. Most of the existence of pizza has been without tomato.

    Technically even 2500BC in ancient Sumer they had flatbreads and the ability to bake them with toppings, I think potentially you’re underestimating the age of the pizza by an order of magnitude.

      True, I’m just looking at it linguistically. We’ve had a thing called “pizza” in continuous use since 997 according to Wikipedia (I was unable to locate the source cited, but I don’t think it’s a contentious issue, so Wikipedia is probably correct).

  Someone’s had Chicago style deep dish for the first time I see.

  That’s not an edgy take. Pizzas have been traditionally referred to as pies for a long time. It’s fallen out of favor in the last few generations, but there was a time when it was common to refer to it as a pie.

    How else would you refer to a whole pizza? That’s almost always called a pie in my experience, even though people don’t say “a pizza pie” so much.

      I call a whole pizza “a pizza”

  Correction; a tomato pie with pineapple.

  Pizza is made of pastry?

• Zorque@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Depends on how much sauce is used. I’ve had plenty where it’s little more than a thin veneer.

    Chicago deep dish style

    I don’t refer to pizzas as “pies” and generally frown upon it, but a case can be made for deep dish.

      I used to think I hated deep dish pizza cause I only ever had it at UNO’s and it was not great. But a local place by me was recommended because of their deep dish pizza. And it was amazing! One of two places in my city that make pizza you eat with a fork and knife. The other one is defacto “deep dish” but more classic pizza, just with like ALL the toppings.

  That's just a fancy way of saying a tomato smoothie on bread/pastry

  It’s half a cheese toastie with tomato sauce.

  Where I live, we have a food that’s basically flatbread with toppings. One of the popular toppings is apple slices and raisins, which looks like an apple pie. And we do like to joke that pizza is simply the tomato variant of it, too. 🙃
