Pizza is NOT Pie

Pizza is NOT Pie.
Try it, try having a craving like crazy for apple pie, with Ice Cream or a big hunk of cheddar cheese, look on the internet at 11PM, and all you can find under "Best Pie" is a listing of Pizza joints.
Because somehow, in some universe, it's cool for those in the know to refer to a Pizza as a "pie" as in, "you wanna 12 inch pie wif pepperoni" etc. PIZZA IS NOT PIE. When I want pie, I want crust, sweet filling, etc.
I am NOT going to start looking for pie and say all of a sudden, "Oh yeah, what I REALLY Wanted was pizza. Because they are JUST ALIKE. Thank you SO MUCH, Hipsters." PIZZA ALREADY HAS A UNIQUE NAME: PIZZA. Don't believe me? Look up "Best Pizza." Do you get a list of places that serve you pie? People trying to sell you tires? NO. You get PIZZA.
SO PIZZA ALREADY HAS PIZZA, IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO GET ITSELF INTO THE "PIE" LISTINGS AS WELL. In fact, I can't think of ANYONE who would start looking for PIZZA by typing "BEST PIE." In fact, I don't think anyone would say to themselves, "I'm not going to that Pizza Joint, because it listed itself as "best pizza" instead of "best pie." The latter is clearly much classier. And classy is what I want in a Pizza."
You want Pizza, you are gonna search for PIZZA. I'm not sure where this came from, but if we don't stop it, it won't stop itself. Before long, you look up anything, and you'll get Pizza listings. Don't believe me? It's happening already. Try it. Look Up "Best Steak," you'll get pizza joints, (don't get me started on the Steak/Cheesesteak thing.) "Best Wings?" Same, "Best Comfort Food?" Pizza. "Best Italian?" Pizza. This is not what the internet is about.
If we don't act right away, at some point in the future, any search even remotely connected to food, is only going to get you pizza.
It has to END NOW. By Steffan decree.
