Never heard of pizza pie before... pie usually has a filling.

Yeah I didn't think "pizza pie" was a regional thing...
It definitely is. I'm in Charlotte, NC and we've had a ton of Northerners head down here to show us a decent pizza, cheese steak and/or wings.... and I am eternally grateful for that. Every small, "family owned authentic" wing/thin NY style pizza place does amazing around here. Especially if you throw in that accent! Oops I should have said "trow in that accent"!
Only the people that own those places (where I live at least) say "pitza pie".
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie @deadendp ...I love that, you inspired me to Google: Pizza was first called pie when Italian immigrants arrived in the United States in the late 1800s. Jamie Oliver has a recipe for American Pizza Pie
I've never in my life actually called it a pizza pie together. I'll either say, "lets order a pizza" or "lets order a pie." Never pizza pie. Maybe it's just me.

Not just you. I usually just call it pizza, but have also been known here and there to call it a pie. Never pizza pie. I had a great Aunt from Boston who used to always say pizza pie. She was in her 80s though -so maybe it is more old school.

I've decided that next year, for my 70th birthday, I'm going to locate a really good pizzeria and order a nice big pizza with real cow cheese and any and all the toppings I want and enjoy something I haven't had in probably a good 30 years!

I usually say pizza/pie interchangeably but not compound. But I have heard people say it and like Juggler, I don't think it's a regional thing.
I also usually say "sub" and sometimes "hoagie," but the latter only when referring to a cold sub. I've never in my life called them grinders or heroes but I have heard people say those. I've even heard "zep" for a sub before.

Those look great. I bought a pizza stone a while back and have yet to use it. I really need to try to make my own pizza from scratch someday soon. Your wife’s creations have inspired me.
