Deep dish pizza is technically a tart or perhaps (at a stretch) a flan. It is far removed from the real Italian pizza from which it originates.

pies do not need a crust over the top.

I wouldn't call it a pie, it would basically be a really thick stew served in a pastry.

stew???????
:inquisitive:

Cake. You horrible, horrible people.

The cake is never a lie. Cake batter. Ice cream cake. Gooey butter cake. Cake 'n Shake from Cold Stone Creamery. Chocolate cake. Icing on the cake. Cookie cakes.

Cakes.

Pie will win the challenge. It is a piece of cake.

Cornish pasty uber alles.

i read in NG that something like 35% of americans admit to eating pie for breakfast.

always pie.

What's NG? And is that regularly or just a once off? I have had pie for breakfast a couple of times(real pies I mean, those sweet pies for breakfast would make me sick).

national geographic. sorry if it wasnt clear.

CAAKE! Cake is Absolutely Amazing... But Pie is good too Hmmmmm:sweatdrop:
Which kind of Pie Savory, Sweet or Both?

PIE WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cake is obviously better.

On another note, I hate the taste of pastry (Except for sweet pastry). So it is pretty commonsense for me.

Also, a Pizza isn't classed as a pie, is it actually more of a bread. (Which is actually closer to a cake than a pie)

well too bad its 19-9 in pies favor. to eat your cake, ill have pie. :tongue:

Cake voters were too busy eating cake to vote.

and the pie voters ate pie while voting. so there.

Just to throw in, post=argument...

This is actually the reason I love pie: you could serve a European-style Meat pie as dinner, and follow it up with an American-style fruit pie. Hell, you could make a pie for just about every part of the day.

Cake? What is it, aside from a nasty combination of over-sweet slabs of bread and a few obligatory toppings, which themselves are far too sweet as well?
