I always just say pizza.
And sub.

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.

Good idea @brianlux

The wife made a couple pies last night. If you're lucky you'll get some pics of my lunch today.

Here they are. Not too bad

I know you pizza purists might scoff - red onion, artichoke, and mushroom on a whole wheat/cornmeal crust extra crispy. Unconventional but delicious.

That looks solid

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.

All pizza is welcome in this thread! Unconventional pies are often some of the most delicious.

Western Maryland pizza is not accepted in this thread.

I still have to discuss toppings with my wife.  What do you suggest?
