I get why thicker Chicago-style pizza could get called “pie”, but it still infuriates me when “pie” is used as a synonym for pizza

That's a weird thing to be infuriated by, but I've never seen it used as a direct synonym to pizza, but rather to the amount of pizza - specifically, a whole round pizza. It makes sense, too, to see it as a type of open-faced savory pie. Both tend to be circular dishes with toppings/fillings on a baked crust, and typically served in wedge-shaped portions.

There is a restaurant near me called citizen pie. As a big fan of pies who doesn't care for pizza, I was infuriated.
