Is a tomatoe a fruit?

Yes!: I tomato is a fruit, just like kiwi is a fruit. That means pizza with tomato-based sauce is not a "vegetable".

It is: Remember the botanical sense of a fruit is broader than people often think, as it refers to the developed ovary of a seed plant ... remember the tomato develops from the flower(which contains the ovary).
