I have to go with Pie. It has a much stronger place in our traditions. For instance, who ever heard of the "Gravied Piper of Hamlin"??
Unfortunately, the word "pied" in that manner refers to "wearing a mult-colored coat" instead of being covered in desserts. Win goes to gravy by default.

Etymology Nazi!
"Gravy", however, is often used as descriptive noun synonymous with positive or lucrative undertakings. "Easy as pie" is of common usage as well, but indicates a lack of complexity, or that pie is simply a whore.
