Simple question. What do you think?

Sure. It's a slightly douchey thing to say but not as bad as Za.

_________________

I don't use that term when referring to a pizza, but I will accept it.

If you say "Za," your balls need to be cut off unless your wife already owns them.

_________________

East Coast bullshit. Call a pizza a "pie" and you might as well start saying "gabagool," "the gravy," and "AYYY I'M WALKIN HERE"

_________________

I say "Za' all the time but only because I know it's annoying so it makes me laugh.

No / yes

if you say "pie" then you should go back to new york or new jersey

you're in the wrong part of pennsylvania. lower pa/philadelphia has amazing pizza.

I remember one time Senor had a guest from Brooklyn on (I think it was Susannah "Tremendous Amounts of Sex" Collins) and called pizza a pie to impress her.

midwesterners call soda "pop" and they shit on east coast people calling pizza a "pie"? GTFO.

Too much NYC influence here when it comes to pizza. I wasn't asked what is my favorite pizza place here and my response was Digornio. That should tell you something.

it strikes me as something people said in the 50's or 60's

honey, let's all go out for a pizza pie tonight

Unless you're doing a bit and being like "mamma mia, that's-a such-a nice-a pizza pie," why would you call it a pie?

_________________

Pop and Soda are neck and neck, and both of those terms only refer to one type of food.

A pizza is a pizza.

A pie is a dessert.

That's because a can "pops" when its opened.

A pie has fruit in it.

_________________

Yes, because one is cool sounding and the other is "Pie"

And "Coke."

_________________

what about pot pie ????

I love language/dialect threads

_________________

Agreed and honestly, I do that a lot

"Coke" for all soft drinks is just a Deep South thing. Everyone else is soda or pop (or soda pop!).

I'm trying to imagine a situation where I would call a pizza a pie and not sound weird.

there are pies that are not dessert.

Coke gets a lot of play in the Midwest, too, though. It did in our house, but (and I'll never find them now; it was during grad school) I've seen some isolglosses for "Coke" vs. "pop" in the Midwest.

I noticed (after I quit drinking pop) that people seem more likely to say "Coke" at restaurants, though.

_________________

Well, I know when I can't see which sodas the restaurant has, I just order a Coke. (And when they ask "is Pepsi okay?", sigh and affirm.) I'd rather order Dr. Pepper every time, I just freeze up, I guess.

KRAMER (in a chef's hat and apron): See, anybody can do this. <Tosses pizza dough into the air.>

POPPIE: Use your wrist! It's all in the wrist. <Kramer tosses the dough way up there.> Not too high!

KRAMER (puts the dough on the counter): Alright, put a little sauce on here... <speaks some unintelligible words in an Italian accent while spreading the sauce around.> Some cheese...

POPPIE: Not too much!

KRAMER: And...cucumbers! <Grabs a large handful and puts them on the pizza.>

POPPIE: Wait a second...what is that?

KRAMER: It's cucumbers.

POPPIE: No, no. You can't put cucumbers on a pizza.

KRAMER: Well, why not? I like cucumbers.

POPPIE: That's not a pizza. It'll taste terrible.

KRAMER: But that's the idea, you make your own pie.

POPPIE: Yes, but we cannot give the people the right to choose any topping they want! Now on this issue there can be no debate!

KRAMER: What gives you the right to tell me how I would make my pie?

POPPIE: Because it's a pizza!

KRAMER: It's not a pizza until it comes out of the oven!

POPPIE: It's a pizza the moment you put your fists in the dough!

KRAMER: No, it isn't!

POPPIE: Yes, it is!
