This came up at work this morning and is currently being heavily debated. Haven't heard a great argument yet for no, but figured this crew could weigh in.
Does a Pie have to be a Circle?
A pie is a circle.
If it's not a circle, wouldnt that then make it a cobbler?

Isn't a cobbler a biscuit based endeavor?
pizza or dessert pie?
Is a cobbler a cobbler if there’s a top crust?

I don't wanna blend the lines too much, but someone just said "would that be a dessert lasagna?"
I told them they should go check out THP right now
For pizza it’s common to have square and rectangle pies
Yeah, lots of pizza pie's that are non circular.

Agreed...I think for sake of conversation this was 100% started with dessert and pizza should be left out
The definition of pie says nothing about circle or circular. However, I've never seen a square pie tin.
What's A Slab Pie, Anyway?
When it comes to pie, we think bigger is better, which is why we love slab pies.
Does a cobbler have a crust? Or is it more of a topping?
I think so?
Great argument could be had here. Looks like slab pies are a thing. I’ve seen heart shaped pies. In my world I have no preference if it has crust a fruit or crème filling I’m game to give it a try.
and it can be
No but good luck finding a Non round Pie tin.

The cobbler I grew up with had a bottom crust and top crust with pieces of crust mixed in the filling. The crust was a semi-sweet biscuit dough rolled out to accomodate the shape of the baking dish. The filling had flour in it to thicken it some. The bottom layer of crust was baked off, the filling added and the top crust was laid on and crimped, then baked.
If you mixed a batter liked substance into the filling and tried to pass it off as cobbler, fingers were pointed.
