\That's great, but cheesecake isn't filled. It's cheese on a base. For that matter, pizza is not pie either because it's not filled with anything.

Um, no. It would only be "filled" with sauce if you had a layer of crust on top and the sauce was fully enclosed. Pizza is topped with sauce (among other ingredients) not "filled" with sauce.

There are lots of pies that aren't filled.

For the record, pies do not have to have tops (e.g. Pumpkin Pie).
