Pizza is either toast or a sandwich.

collapsed inline media

Edit: So yes, I think you're right.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you fold a big New York slice, it can also be a taco.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This giant taco tastes like Italy!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of your mom!

[–] bradv@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So a hot dog is a taco, and a burrito is sushi.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most burritos I've had have the ends folded in which may make them a calzone

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

I see a lot with one end open, other end closed, which I guess makes them a soup or salad?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Pretty self-explanatory.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Why does this make me laugh but also feel angry?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a pie. Your chart is missing pie.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A pie is just round toast or maybe round soup/salad/bread bowl.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Pies are defined by their crusts. A filled pie (also single-crust or bottom-crust), has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry but left open. A top-crust pie has the filling in the bottom of the dish and is covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. A two-crust pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell.

Regular pizza is bottom-crust, calzone is two-crust. That's my interpretation.

Funny af, and shows the flaw in these charts, that positioning and shape is not the only determining factor.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What, jokes arent scientifically defensible?! I am shocked.

It's also valuable and round, so I consider pizza coin.

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think so, it’s just a flat bread with stuff on it. You could eat it with a knife and fork if you wanted!

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Unless youre a former mayor of nyc

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

No, because the ingredients are raw before it's baked. Even a toasted sandwich is in ready-to-eat condition before it's toasted.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if it is the home made pizza using half an Italian loaf in place of the dough?

What about pizza that involves prebaking the crust before adding sauce and toppings?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] snooggums@piefed.world 1 points 1 month ago

scowls at your lack of consistency

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed. It's actually a 1-layer lasagna.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

If you can't tell the difference between pasta and pastry I don't know what to tell you.

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What about Lunchables Pizza?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

neither pizza nor sandwich, sorry

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

You can consider anything to be something it's not, so yes.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

If my grandma had wheels, could she be considered a bicycle?

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

I don't know, how many wheels?

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I don't know how to tell you this, but that's not why they're calling your grandma the town bicycle.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago
[–] QuantumTickle@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (5 children)

If I ask you for one of those things and you bring me the other, I would think you're a moron.

Pizza is also, like other foods, apparently a salad.

You know it's possible to upload pictures without taking screenshot, right?

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

On mobile at work, couldn't be arsed to spend 30 seconds uploading from gallery.

I thought that I had rotated it, though. Just noticed that now. Whoops.

Calzone is a Hot Pocket that followed its dreams and made it big

[–] Fit_Series_573@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The best sandwich

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

An open-faced sandwich isn't even a sandwich.

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

It's an open empanada

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 month ago

If you fold it

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You're supposed to fold it, it's a taco.
