Here's a question for ya:

That Food Timeline: pie & pastry website whose link I provided in my
25 Nov 07 - 03:09 PM post includes pizza in its list of pies/pastries.

So is pizza the same thing as a cheese pie?

    Someone once told me that pizza is actually the Italian word for pie. I don't know if this is true. Any Italian speakers out there?
I know in NY pie is slang for pizza. As in: Hey woulda ya want on yer pie? Pepperoni or sausage?
