[JoPh]

[MacGaven]

Pizza, you're friends are right.

im from NJ, do you think its a northern thing then?

 

[spanky]

either one is correct... why argue over it? when i want to get a whole pizza... i always ask for a pie... large pie = plain... large pie with meatballs = whole pizza with meatballs... etc

Yeah, it's pizza. Your just strange.

Like soda or pop, etc.

However, I will contend that NO ONE E V A R says 'potato' with a short 'a' sound.

No, I've lived in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, and have family in NJ. I think its just a 'thing', not dictated by geography

Pizza. Pies have crust on top and either a fruit or cream filling.

You are correct, sir.

when my dad lived in new jersey (im sure its still the same...) they all call it pie, i call it pizza

You want a pizza but you order a pie. Its just the way things are.

If you get a single topping, then you disreguard pie. For example, a "Large Meatball". Multiple toppings are pie with the topping. Example: "A large pie with sausage and mushrooms"...

 

[bootymac]

I call it pizza pie! Best of both worlds

 

[GasX]

You are in a pizza parlor. If you order pie, you ain't getting apple...

 

[Supermercado]

I call it a pizza, but it's the same thing as saying "soda" or "pop."

But your grammar isn't.

 

[ElFenix]

mmmm pizza...

 

[WinkOsmosis]

It's not a freaking pie.

This is a pie
This is a pie
This is a pie

 

[rh71]

We say "pie" if we order a pie of pizza... but if we're referring to what we're going to eat, it's a pizza.

 

[stev0]

pizza or za

 

[Psycho18]

I think Ive chosen the large pie....

Wrong. A pie doesn't have to have a crust on top to be considered a pie. Also, pies can also be meat, not just fruit or cream.
