According to another answer on this site, 'tart' is the name for a 'small-pie'.

I'm not sure I agree with this, as one of the key facets of a pie is that it has a pastry top or lid of some description.

One of the distinguishing features of a 'tart' is that it has no lid, making it more like a flan.

A pie can be a dish of food with a pastry lid, or food entirely enclosed in pastry. The point of a flan or tart is that it is open on top, with pastry at the bottom and sides!
