[Hooahguy]

for me, i like pie.....
pizza pie, apple pie, lemon-meringue pie, rhubarb pie, and the list goes on....

[Rhyfelwyr]

Pie in the US seems to mean something completely different to what it is in the UK.

Give me a steak & gravy pie over a piece of sponge anyday!

[Hepcat]

I think I prefer a good mince and cheese pie over a cake.

[Ethelred Unread]

Got to be Pie.

Especially football half time "dogmeat" pies.

Not sure I'd like pizza pie, wtf is that?

[Hooahguy]

a pizza pie? as in 18" of pizza goodness in diameter (in most pizza parlors)?

[Ethelred Unread]

I remember an Alton Brown show where they talked about all of the foods that are technically pies that most people don't think of. Pizza was one of them if I recall.

I have to go with pie. Cherry pies, meat pies, chicken pot pies....

[seireikhaan]

Not really. Some call it a "pizza pie", but most just call it pizza.

[caravel]

A pizza is a flat bread with a topping and not a pie.

[Hooahguy]

but its till called a "pie", qualifying it for "pie" status...

[Togakure]

I have a weakness for sweets, the women in my family being experts on such things. If I had to choose, I'd have to say pie. Chocolate Dream, Boston Creme, Apple, Pumpkin, Rhubarb, Banana Creme, Lemon Meringue, Blackberry, Huckleberry, Pecan .... yum, yum, yum.

Didn't we have this poll like a week ago?

[Mikeus Caesar]

A pizza is a 2 dimensional object. A pizza pie is like a deep pan pizza but with a filling. Originally pizzas were more pie-like but modern pizzas are much easier to make.

[yesdachi]

I like both, desert pie (blueberry, pecan, pumpkin, etc.) with loads of whip topping or a dinner pie (like a Pasty, filled with meats) with a complimentary gravy all over it.

[Hosakawa Tito]

I'll have a slice of Pecan pie, please.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

with a wedge of chocolate cake on the side.

[Martok]

Well if we're talking dessert, then definitely cake.

I'll have a slice of Pecan pie, please.

Blech! Just the thought of that honestly makes me want to hurl. (I generally love nuts, but I really really really hate pecans.)

[Ferret]

I generally love nuts

You're lucky ATPG doesn't frequent the frontroom

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I'd have to say pie, unless, of course, my mother or grandmother bake the cake. In which case, cake wins.

[Ferret]

I'd have to say pie, unless, of course, my mother or grandmother bake the cake. In which case, no contest.

Are they really that bad at baking?

[Hosakawa Tito]

Excellent, more for me!
