Basically Swipey, the consensus here is that if it doesn't have a crust it's not a fucking pie.
You fucking pie.

Pies have to have a top
Sides and bottom can be excluded in a pot pie

Well, at a push, maybe, but if there's no crust then it's not a pie and Swipe is a blithering food wrong.

A friend of mine has very strong views on what constitutes a pie
Pubs quite often serve what is basically a casserole with a pastry lid on it.
If he is ever served one he will kick up a fuss and send it back.
A pie must be entirely encased in pastry in order to qualify as a pie.

This is correct though
Unless they state TOPPED or some such a pie needs to be fully encased
