Something I find disturbing about east coasters

[Alaska_Dawg]

I've noticed throughout the years, including on this board .. that some of you people call a pizza a pie. A pie is cherry pie, apple pie, cream pie, pecan pie, etc... but it's not a pizza. People have coffee and pie. A pizza is a pizza .. not a pie. Only communist call a pizza a pie tmk. So for those of you who travel to Seattle for the RU vs UW game and you want to order a pizza .. don't be asking for a pie or chances are you will be arrested and locked up for being a communist subversive.


This is a pie ...

And this is a pizza ...

meh. That's how I feel about a left coasters input on anything pizza related. :)

I mean outside of an actual pizza shop I wouldn't call a pizza by pie alone. For example, call placed to local pizza shop. Hi, can I get 2 large pies, one with mushrooms and pepperoni, one with everything, no chovies.

About 20 years ago while I was stationed in Northern California my parents (who still lived in NJ), visited us. We decided to take the quick route for dinner and get delivery from Domino's. My mom calls Dominos and says, "yes, I'd like to order two pies for delivery." All I hear from my mom after that is "what do you mean you don't have pies, this is Domino's, right?" A few seconds later she hangs up and starts complaining to me that the Dominos guy is out of his mind. I had to explain to her to call back and just order two "pizzas".

On the East Coast we are always in a rush. No time to use extra words. When calling a pizza place it's redundant to say pizza pie when just pie will do.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

Pizza = pie or slice. Capisce? Sorry, "Get it?"

There is no such thing as a 'pizza pie'. It's a 'pizza'. Pies are apple, cherry, pecan, cream, etc... not a pizza.

Who from the East Coast is going to order pizza when on The West Coast? That would be like me flying out west in hopes of eating a good bagel.

Actual definition of Pie.

noun

1. a baked dish of fruit, or meat and vegetables, typically with a top and base of pastry.
   synonyms: pastry, tart, turnover
   "the enticing aroma of fresh-baked pies"
   • a pizza.

 

[rc64]

I remember that they were called "tomato pies" in NJ in the early 1950's.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Anyone's from the west coast or anywhere besides the Northeast shouldn't ever to talk to us about anything pizza related.

That is just embarrassing...

Your in America now so it's time you learn to speak American.


This broad is baking a 'pie'. That's what real Americans do .. they bake pies.

This a pizza. If you want to see what a pie looks like, look at the top pic in this post.

They still are in central jersey and the shore.

And seriously, someone complaining about how "east coasters" (read: NY/NJers) talk about pizza? It's like someone complaining about how Idahoans talk about potatoes or how Louisianans talk about cajun food.

LOL... I've had Italian food in Italy. I'd take our Italian food over here any day of the week. Who the hell wants spaghetti sauce the looks like red water.

btw we have some great pizza joints on the west coast and they don't make 'pies' .. they make 'pizza'.

 

[RUChoppin]

We'll all be sure to complain about how folks talk about coffee in Seattle, while we're out there. :)

I'm just gonna have to stop you there...

Dean Martin lived in California ..where they speak American and eat pizza, not pizza pie.

"When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie.... that's amore."

So, you claim him as one of your own - I'll take his usage over yours. ;P

Dean was singing commie talk in that song. Not everyone is perfect.

We are trying to teach you to "speak American" but you're not listening friend.

It's pie. Dig it.

This thread reminds me of when I lived in North Carolina. Everyone I knew there kept telling me about different places that served great pizza. I would try the various pizzas and then feel sorry for those who thought that those pizzas were good.

I do know that you can get very good pizza pies outside of the NJ/NY area. But they are few and far between and you usually have to spend a lot of time searching.

 

[RUich]

Your in America now so it's time you learn to speak American.

Uh, just what does "now" mean? We fought the Brits (that's what we call the British) and started America along with 12 other original states.. Shouldn't you be speaking Spanish? Don't they teach history out in the wilderness?
BTW, I have been to California too many times to count and ordering a pizza is always a something I am sorry for afterwards.

 

[jmc11201]

And this is a pizza ...

That is no kind of pizza. Did it come in a box? At least show a good one.

Whoa there Tony Soprano. We say 'cars' on the west coast, not 'caws'. We actually have the letter 'R' in our alphabet.

Obviously Chicago makes the best pizza, but the west coast has some excellent pizza joints.

Dawg
When you come visit us are you going to ask for soda crackers and pop.
At around 6 o'clock at night around here, when anyone suggests getting a pie, it means anything but apple....lol

 

[OTBOTOR]

Dawg, your interpretation of pie is so narrow. Free your mind, and the rest will follow.

There's apple pie, blueberry pie, strawberry rhubarb pie.
But there's also pizza pie, chicken pot pie, shepherd's pie, meat pie, hair pie, and so on.

No idea what a soda cracker is, but yes we do say 'pop' and not 'soda'.

That's American speak for ya. :)

Soda cracker is a Saltine down south

No, "pop" is Canada speak.

One other thing. Real Americans go to the beach, not the shore.

We go to the beach, too... we just go to the beach at the shore.

Southerners are a trip. I need a translator when they talk.

 

[OTBOTOR]

What time is it in Alaska right now anyway? You might need some sleep.

 

[Upstream]

Dawg, are you in Alaska right now? What are you doing posting on the Internet at this time of night? Get some sleep. You'll feel better in the morning.

3:24am here and ya I need to crash soon. Insomnia is a b1tch. :(

[babbs09]

I know this is all in jest. But no left coasters get to talk about our pizza. Stick to seafood.

 

[RUsSKii]

I'm horrified that you would even use the terms 'pizza' and 'bagels' on the west coast; they're practically cheap imitations without New York water.

I was recently in Vegas, though, and was reminded that you have us beat with In N Out Burger [winking]

Well played OP.....
