Pizza. Do you call it 'pie'?

[freebfrost]

Non-melted? On pizza?

Why would you want that?

Try it...

There is just a thin covering of cheese on the pizza in the oven, then the toppings go on and the rest of the cheese when it comes out.

YUM! And welcome to the Ohio Valley.

The inventor of the cheese steak sandwich calls it a Philly Cheese Steak.

Ahem. You do realize that topic is like a Holy war, don't you? There is contention for the title from other parties. They only call it that on the website for the tourists.

The Inventor of the Cheesesteak and the Hoagie is a hotly contested piece of history. Not to mention the origin of the word 'hoagie' itself is a hot topic.

But... but.. but... the toppings are supposed to be cooked! And the cheese is supposed to burn the top of your mouth if you take a bite too soon!

Figures. I thought I remembered reading that in a history class. Serves me right for being lazy.

You may have been mis-remembering the history of pasta...according to legend, the Chinese invented pasta, and Marco Polo brought it back to Italy (though, apparently, they've found pasta in the ruins of Pompeii, which sort of puts the lie to that story).

If I can find someplace in Indy that makes it this way, I'll buy you a piece at GenCon!

It actually freezes very well, but its not the same as fresh out of the oven.

And think of it this way - the first bite is of mounds of cool fresh cheese, then slowly giving way to the toppings on top of the layer of warm melted cheese, then the warm sauce and crunchy crust...

Thankfully an Ohio Valley native has opened a shop here in Columbus, so I think I'll go get some tonight now that I'm hungry for it.

you order a slice of pizza "yolemmegettaslice"

or a whole pie "wewantalargepie"

i ask my friends if they want pizza...they say yes...and then i call and order a pie. or two or three pies. i would never actually say the word Pizza to the guy in the pizzeria. that would be unnecessary.
