Here we go round.

If I worked a burger joint and a person came up and insisted she wanted a burger with cheese but not a cheeseburger, I'd just ring up a burger with cheese added. It'll usually cost more than just a cheeseburger, but if that's what the customer wants, that's what the customer gets.

Of course, if the register has no "add cheese" button, then that's a whole other issue.

I've never heard of that before! Guess it wasn't too odd then to ask for it (well, ordering method was still a bit odd ["pizza, no toppings, no cheese" would've made more sense to me]).

Yeah, that ordering method is odd

You'd mainly only find "real" Tomato Pie (as opposed to the stuff with an actual pie crust) in areas with large Italian populations. The no-cheese variant is strictly a Providence RI thing it seems.
