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.

If a pie is without filling, then it's just a lump of pastry :p

Yes, but no, and no, but yes.
It is what it is, and topics like this serve only to divide us, when we should be united in our love of pie AND cheesecake (whatever it's classification may be).

Could a Pizza not be classed as a layer cake? As in a pie that has no pastry top? A cheesecake has no top. :confused:

Pies. Have. Lids.

Ergo, Pumpkin Tart or Pumpkin Flan.
Deal with it, DBZ. :p
