Due to the amount of people at holidays, my wife makes hers in a cake pan. Though she calls the banana cream a pie, and the pistachio a tort. F**k, now I'm confused.
 
No it does not. The pan could be all sorts of shapes as long as it's the general makeup of a pie.
 
as long as it tastes like a pie and has what I expect out of a pie I don't care what shape it is. Is a cheesecake a pie?
 
What about a hand pie? They’re half a circle.
 
If this were true then New Zealand would be screwed with its bacon & egg pie, made in a square or rectangular baking tin depending on how big you want it.

And now I'm going to make one as I haven't had a good bacon & egg pie in forever
 
Yes otherwise it's just cobbler.
 
This is a pie, it's Australian and we've known to harbour some serial killers.

Sir that’s a quiche
 
No, but I want some apple pie now.
 
If a pie is a circle -- then how high can it be before it becomes cake?
 
If we are talking desert, then they tend to be round, but a savoury pie can be made in these

To all those saying Yes it has to be round, once you cut a slice and put it on your plate is it still pie? Or does it become something else since it's now not round?
 
My wife has a great Apple pie recipe. It actually calls for a 9 by 12 glass pan that she bought special for this recipe .

I would say yes since this Area formula still applies.

A=(πR² )(deg of Pie left÷360) = Amount of remaining Pie - So Yes it is still Pie.
