Its called Calzonification and many different species of food have independently evolved towards it

indeed, the new york method of folding a slice of pizza while eating it is actually evidence of the "calzone instinct" in neapolitan and sicilian genetic markers

What if you work the crust of one pizza over the crust of the other to create a seal?

if you are doing this with uncooked pizzas and actually merging the dough, then yea basically thats a calzone but you should still leave one side of it open or it would burst in a weird way while cooking, i think

if you are doing this with already cooked pizzas it will not work. you cant work a cooked crust into another one and make a seal

lettuce is really the only missing thing but i think the real point is that the chart is inadequate because everyone would agree that a sandwich sans lettuce can still be ingredient purist

yeah, there are many very traditional sandwiches that do not involve lettuce - or any other veggies - at all. if you go to a nyc deli and order a pastrami sandwich its just going to be pastrami and bread. thats still ingredient purist.

the idea that a sandwich "must" have lettuce or cold raw tomatoes in it is Bad Thinking and has led to many bad sandwiches all over the world, because those ingredients should only be used if they are a.) extremely fresh and b.) only going to be on the sandwich for a very short time before you eat it, so they dont have time to wilt or soak into the bread or other ingredients, which gets Gross.

If the topmost pizza was a stuffed crust pizza, and the crust was sliced just enough off the top to let the cheese leak out, so that the cheese that was stuffed in the crust melts and leaks out to form a seal with the lowermost pizza, does it then become a calzone?

i dont think cheese physics works in reality the way it works in your head. i think the result of this would just be called a "mess"
