When I was a kid the only take aways we had were pies and pasties, or fish and chips. We didn't start to see pizza until the 70s. Pies were most popular simply for the practicality, they're very tasty and they can be eaten one handed while working or driving. Pies come in all sorts of flavours here too, one that might appeal to more Americans is the Chilli Cheese Steak pie.@Outdated I think I would like the meat pies there.
Some people call for a pie here when they want pizza.
I am of course familiar with a lot of US terminology, our TV stations were flooded with cheap and culturally inappropriate US shows from before I was born. Remember that to a kid growing up here it's the rest of the world that looks weird.
