Oh dear . . . I am afraid you are all crumbling the wrong crust. A pie is not defined by a pastry top or sides at all. Rather, it is what's under the lid that's important.
Traditionally, a pie has many ingredients (a medley or jumble), whereas a pastry has only one.
Connected to this idea is the word 'pie' for a jumble of type, and possibly the word magpie, to refer to a bird that collects a jumble of objects.
There is also a connection to the idea of "pie" is a medley that is somehow indiscriminate, and/or a product that is poor quality - which, to me, makes sense since such a medley of ingredients in years gone by were probably cheap cuts or leftovers only really fit for dogs.

that's wrong for a start - the magpie is so called because it is black and white or "pied" - like the pied wagtail and, indeed the pied piper although the latter has come to be portayed as any two colours rather than the strict black and white meaning ....

So quick to lambast . . . I said "connected to".
The connection is in the old latin word "pica" for "magpie"

the elephants have painted their bollocks red
to look like cherries
which the monkeys are eating
which make the elephants trumpet in pain.
see?
