Probably a North American thing. They certainly were called Pizza Pies when I was in school. (We had a mnemonic device for remembering the planets of the solar system: "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizza-Pies". The first letter corresponds to each planet in order. You know, this reads as very Lunar right now.)
Also, the song "That's Amore" still has the reference. ("When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, That's Amore.")

Yes. I saw that. Peak or point.
