> I'm confused who you're saying does call pizzas 'pies' (or 'pizza pies') then?

I'm not saying anyone does that. I said so in my comment just above you. If I knew there were someone doing it, it would be hard for me to claim it was possible that zero people do it.

You've never heard it in the UK. I've never heard it in the US. It's not a normal thing to say. None of that adds up to a claim that some people say it.

Ok well I am claiming some American people do say it. Neither of us can speak for the entirety of our respective countries, but certainly I have heard Americans saying it on television and film.

In addition to the TV citation I gave above, see Wiktionary:

> Noun

> pizza pie (plural pizza pies)

> 1. (US) A pizza.
