Semantics! Pizza has a crust and arguably a filling...just like cheese cake.

Also, it is slang in many places to refer to a pizza as a "pie."

I won't argue or try to argue that pizza is a dessert, because it is not. And this thread is the battle of the desserts.

Having said that, I still maintain that Cheesecake shares more qualities of a pie (filling, crust) than a cake. Even the way it is cooked and prepared mirrors a pie more closely than a cake.

Just because some drunk homeless guy called cheesecake "cheesecake" the first time it was named does not mean it was properly categorized.
