Cake, it's a cake.
A pie crust is universally either pastry or bready. The cheesecake base is never either of these. It is a crumbed biscuit (cookie for Americans) base. Since a biscuit (cookie) is basically a hard, flat cake a cheesecake is basically like a thin, hard crumbled cake with an extremely thick and dense layer of a cream cheese icing.
It has the appearance of a pie, especially when baked, but the content is pure cake.
