In the purest sense no, since pizza was originally conceived as bread with topping(s). Even cheese isn't really a "requirement" for pizza, although some sort of sauce is (be it tomato, white, whatever).

That said, Chicago is some pretty decent pizza and I haven't had nearly enough of it in my lifetime.

Generally speaking it is made with cheese on the bottom, and toppings in the middle because of the long cook time and after it is done cooking, uncooked sauce is put on top after the dough and toppings are done baking.

You'd think but really it's an oily, soggy mess. Since it's so thick it steams the ingredients rather than getting a nice sear, like when you over crowd a pan or fryer.

only if you eat it like pizza. you can carefully eat it with both hands.

if you are using utensils then it isn't pizza. just because all the ingredients for pizza are there doesn't mean it's pizza.

Yeah. I mean, it definitely could be. Also, I think that the order of ingredients might not be as important in certain cases...

I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be pizza. It's a bit unorthodox to put the cheese under the sauce, sure, but it doesn't really seem like enough for it not to be pizza.

Its not healthy either, they basically just flip flop the cheese with the sauce, so it's like eating a block of cheese and i got very sick off of it, and it didn't taste good. Chicago must be fat eating this. I think they should import some New York artisans to teach them how to make pizza.

Strictly speaking yogurt and cheese are both just milk with cultures, but does that make them the same thing?

I would personally argue it is a pizza flavoured burrito, but what about a Calzone, is it just a pizza flavoured panini?

No. They both use milk as a base ingredient and then add other ingredients (like bacteria for yogurt or enzymes for cheese) and use different production methods to make them something completely different. Cheese is also not really milk. It's formed by removing a specific aspect of milk (protein) from the compound as a whole.

Saying yogurt and cheese are the same is like saying wine and grape jelly is the same thing or beer and animal feed is the same thing.

Pizza has is made from dough, cheese, and tomatoes (though cheese was never part of the first pizza ever made), with no specific method identified for layering, and baked. Same basic ingredients and method of cooking for all types.

No but in order for it to be a real pizza it would need a sauce and cheese of some kind.

Adding beans as an ingredient doesn't make the beans themselves a pizza.

No such thing as too much cheese. Also pizza is always unhealthy.
