Dependency injection is a little different than the factory pattern. The book "head first design patterns" is a good read that really hits home with it's examples (plus, they use pizza making as examples!).
For instance (heh), you may have things beyond dependency injection going on when creating your objects. There is a bunch of information out there on the web, too. Heck wikipedia usually has a good rundown on X pattern. Check out the factory pattern itself, and see if what I'm talking about makes sense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_pattern (short blurb, there's better stuff out there) HIH, :DeN -- Life has become the ideology of its own absence.
