Few people would argue against you DaY. But, for the record, a cat is an animal. We still don't go around saying "cat animal" everytime we want to talk about a cat. The term "pizza pie" is equally stupid. The two terms "pizza" and "pie" refer to two distinct categories of items just like "cat" and "animal" are distinct. The words should never, ever be uttered together. You can eat pizza, or you can eat a pie. You don't eat a pizza pie.

To be more clear, a tart is a short pie without a top. A pizza is a short pie without a top. So a pizza is a tart. Are you arguing that we should call it a "pizza tart pie pastry food"?

Yes, waiter, I'd like to order a pepporoni pizza tart pie pastry food with extra cheese!

Cheesepie is not its name. Its name is cheesecake. But that doesn't make it a cake. It is still a pie that was misnamed at one point in its life.

No, it's a cake.

Lemon Meringue cake?

Hey Phil, look at this:

Notice the USUALLY part? Pies don't need a lid.

My definition: if the bulk is solid enough that there are well defined air pockets (like bread has) then I call it a cake. If not, I call it a pie. Thus to me, cheesecake is a pie.

OH WOW I DIDN'T SEE THAT DARRRRR.
Yes, I noticed the "usually" bit. My definition: no lid = cake. Lid = pie.

Just because that's your definition, doesn't mean your definition is right. I can define pizza as anything with cheese on it. And since cheesecake has cheese on it, it's a pizza. And since pizza is pie, cheesecake is pie. My definition (premise) is wrong, and thus my conclusion becomes questionable (but in this case it's right!)

The world pizza is believed to be from an Old Italian word meaning "a point," which in turn became the Italian word "pizzicare," which means "to pinch" or "pluck."

Pizza and pie are not synonymous. "Pizza" doesn't immediate imply it's a pie.

That is what I just said. They are distinct and different. Thus the term "pizza pie" should not be used.

Hmm, what do I say about this:

Meh, my wording was off. The word pizza doesn't imply it's a pie, but we all know what a pizza is, since it's only ever a pie.

When donkeys are involved, my definition is always right, for I am the King Of Donkeys.
