Cake. How could it be a pie?

If pumpkin pie is a pie then why is cheesecake also not a pie?

Neither. It's a dessert.

A pizza pie isn't a pie, is it?

It's a pie.

Like Pumpkin, Key Lime, and Meringue.

I would say it's a cake if the crust is only on the bottom and it's a pie if the crust comes all the way up the sides. Or it's a cake if it's made in a cake pan and a pie if it's made in a pie pan.

Cheesecake can stand on its own without crusts on the side. Pumpkin pie can't. If a cheesecake needs crust on the sides to stay whole, then I'd say it's a pie. But traditional cheesecake only has crust on the bottom. I'm sure there's some technical definition about ratios of liquids to solids as well.

The pie has crust up the sides and the cake has crust only on the bottom.

Pie is obviously gayer. I didn't think you'd need it spelled out for you.

I believe cheesecake is a pie because it has a crust, unlike cakes. The filling (cream cheese) has a thick texture rather than a fluffy one, like a lot of cakes.

The flavor or the texture?

you're wrong. Pies are served at 4th of July parties cakes are served at commitment ceremonies ergo Q.E.D. cakes are gayer. I have a phd in gayness don't question it.

Ha, this is funny...it's neither a cake or a pie, it's a cheesecake. How could it be anything other than what it is?

Although, I do think it more closely resembles a pie, but nonetheless, it's still a cheesecake.

I will defer to your greater wisdom and experience in this matter.

oh man....it says pie, but it eats like a cake. I'm gonna say pie.

edit:
I am so confused. It says cake, but it eats like a pie, smells like a pie, looks like a pie...
therefore it's pie.
