Pizza is either toast or a sandwich.
Edit: So yes, I think you're right.

If you fold a big New York slice, it can also be a taco.
This giant taco tastes like Italy!
Reminds me of your mom!
topologically I only see 2.5 options here.
So a hot dog is a taco, and a burrito is sushi.
Most burritos I've had have the ends folded in which may make them a calzone
I see a lot with one end open, other end closed, which I guess makes them a soup or salad?
Pretty self-explanatory.
Why does this make me laugh but also feel angry?
It's a pie. Your chart is missing pie.
A pie is just round toast or maybe round soup/salad/bread bowl.
Pies are defined by their crusts. A filled pie (also single-crust or bottom-crust), has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry but left open. A top-crust pie has the filling in the bottom of the dish and is covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. A two-crust pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell.
Regular pizza is bottom-crust, calzone is two-crust. That's my interpretation.
Big Macs are cake
Funny af, and shows the flaw in these charts, that positioning and shape is not the only determining factor.
It's also valuable and round, so I consider pizza coin.
If my grandma had wheels, could she be considered a bicycle?
I don't know, how many wheels?
Yeah.
I don't know how to tell you this, but that's not why they're calling your grandma the town bicycle.
Depends
I think so, it’s just a flat bread with stuff on it. You could eat it with a knife and fork if you wanted!
Unless youre a former mayor of nyc
You can consider anything to be something it's not, so yes.
No, because the ingredients are raw before it's baked. Even a toasted sandwich is in ready-to-eat condition before it's toasted.
What if it is the home made pizza using half an Italian loaf in place of the dough?
What about pizza that involves prebaking the crust before adding sauce and toppings?
Former yes, latter no.
scowls at your lack of consistency
Agreed. It's actually a 1-layer lasagna.
If you can't tell the difference between pasta and pastry I don't know what to tell you.
What about Lunchables Pizza?
neither pizza nor sandwich, sorry
If I ask you for one of those things and you bring me the other, I would think you're a moron.
Ask a topologist for a cup and they'll bring you a donut.
Ok, but who put them in charge of the menu?
They just keep going behind the counter in the coffee shop, and handing out donuts, I have told them off several times.
I love it!
I know it's all a joke but after "is a hotdog a sandwich" the punchline doesn't feel new again just because it's new food.

Calzone is sandwich?
Calzone is a Hot Pocket that followed its dreams and made it big
The best sandwich
You know it's possible to upload pictures without taking screenshot, right?
On mobile at work, couldn't be arsed to spend 30 seconds uploading from gallery.
I thought that I had rotated it, though. Just noticed that now. Whoops.
An open-faced sandwich isn't even a sandwich.
Tostada?
Only if a pupusa is a calzone
