>From my knowledge of the dish, neither pancake nor pizza is an
accurate comparison. Okonomiyaki is a dish made with a batter similar
to pancake batter but often containing miso or some sort of broth,
with bits of cooked meat and vegetable mixed into the batter, often
topped with traditional garnishes and a sauce which varies depending
on who the cook is (or so I've heard...ask Ichinohei-san about this
one...) and I believe one can also place an egg on top of it? So
there really isn't anything American or otherwise to compare it to.
Except a really fancy pancake. Which doesn't quite fit.

 
It seems like it would me more aptly described as a cross between a
quiche and a pankake with pizza thrown in to account for the sauce.
Then again I've never seen one either. (although that's gonna change as
soon as my neighbirs bring me another batch of quails eggs!) ^_^
