Is Pizza a Sandwich?

Egbert Robinett

Is pizza a sandwich? It’s a question for the ages, hotly debated on social media, and the subject of think pieces all over the world. To be sure, at Salerno’s Pizza, we separate pizza from our sandwiches in its own category. But are they really that dissimilar? What about the archaic term “pizza pie”? Pizza is it a pie or a sandwich? Where do double dough and Sicilian pizzas come into play? And when did we become so philosophical in the first place? When you’re out for pizza with friends in Berwyn or Naperville, ask them, “Is pizza a sandwich?” and let the debate begin. Here are our thoughts.

Is Pizza a Sandwich?

Is Pizza a Sandwich? What the Law Says

What exactly is a sandwich? We could debate this for days in Brookfield, but instead, we’re going to get legal. In the case of White City Shopping Ctr., LP v. PR Restaurants, LLC, the Minnesota Law Review has this to say about sandwiches:

A sandwich must include: 1) one slice of bread with filling on top, or 2) two or more separate slices of bread with filling between the two pieces; additionally, 3) single or multiple pieces of bread cannot be rolled together, as in a burrito, wrap, or taco; and 4) the filling cannot be placed inside the pocket of bread, as in a pita. Burritos, hot dogs, gyros, wraps, and tacos would not qualify as a “sandwich” under this framework, but an open-face sandwich, closed-face sandwich, or burger would.

While pizza is not specifically mentioned in this document, common sense suggests that they would consider pizza to be a sandwich. Due to legal considerations. If you’re debating whether the crust is bread, toss our focaccia sandwiches into the mix to completely derail your evening.

Is Pizza a Pie or a Sandwich?

While the term “pizza pie” has mostly fallen out of favor, it is still used in this discussion. Mentions of shepherds and pot pies disprove the notion that pies must be sweet. Pizza, from a culinary standpoint, is more of a savory galette than a pie. According to French cooking expert and former Chez Panisse chef David Lebovitz, a savory galette exists. A galette is a type of bread with toppings. So, technically, pizza is a pie that is also a sandwich.

Pizza or Sandwich?

The real question is, which do you prefer: pizza or sandwiches? You’re probably craving one or the other now that you’ve spent some time sitting at home in Stickney. What we do know is that when you order from Salerno’s Pizza, you can satisfy either craving. Place your order for pizza and a sandwich. Of course, for legal purposes.
