A cheerful, slightly retro American term for a pizza — the 'pie' part is a nod to the round, slice-cut shape that mirrors a traditional pie.

The British, Australian, and Canadian spelling of what Americans typically call a 'pizzeria' — a casual restaurant or takeaway joint specialising in pizza. 'Parlour' carries a slightly retro, cosy feel in Commonwealth English, evoking an earlier era of neighbourhood dining. While not slang in the strict sense, 'pizza parlour' is a distinctive regional variant that signals a laid-back, non-fancy pizza spot rather than an upscale Italian restaurant.
Australian and New Zealand colloquial for something that's half-hearted, incomplete, or done badly — the opposite of a proper job. If your work is half-pie, you've done it carelessly or only got halfway there. It describes plans, efforts, and people who don't commit fully. The phrase captures that particular Antipodean impatience with anything that's not done properly or not done at all.
(figuratively) Anything positive that is quintessentially American.
