Some of the best pizza I ever had was in Philly. Can't say the same for NYC.

And what's with calling it a PIE? If I order a pie, I'm expecting apple, pumpkin, pecan, lemon, etc etc.
I didn't say it was the best way, but that's what i know, NY and NJ pizza. I imagine they call it a pie because it's round. Trays are square. Why would you order a "tray of pizza" if it's round? I tried Old Forge Pizza with an open mind, it was disgusting, and to be fair the first Old Forge Pizza i tried was Revello's and that turned me off to the rest of it, because if the rest of it is like that, then i don't want it. I also was turned off on the ugly old tray they served it on. It looked dirty and there was nothing underneath it. It was just very gross to me, i don't even think they use real cheese, it certainly wasn't mozzarella cheese. I guess if you grew up here and are used to that, then that is real pizza, to me it isn't.

All pizza is a tray in this area...doesn't matter if its square or round. There are round trays, and even round pizza tends to be served on a round metal tray. So I would think tray actually makes more sense than "pie." Pizza isn't a pie...this is a pie:

I guess for you then it's a tray and for me it's a pie, for as long as i live i will say pie. Hilary has roots in Pa, so i guess Old Forge Pizza is good to her, you can look at that pic and see it's not mozzarella cheese on it. I guess it's just where u come from and what u like. I happen to like NY and NJ pizza, i think there is nothing better.

I had my first "slice" of pizza when I was fourteen. My family had moved to a predominantly Italian neighborhood. Very few people called it "pizza". Most referred to it as "tomato pie". It was round, thin crust, w/mozzarella, and the only optional topping was pepperoni.
