I am not sure if that's what you meant as "not opening a submenu centered on the mouse click". or whether my suggestion would resolves it but I think the pie menu repetition on sub level is prone to confusion indeed.
I would envision a pie menu on the first root level. And more normal submenus on subsequent levels, or something like this can be evaluated and perhaps improved: http://usabilitynews.usernomics.com/2008/05/circular-menus-and-usability.htm l But I prefer the pie menu as well personally. It fits better in the context of a 3d interaction. Flat pull down menus kind of break that immersive charm of the pie menu to me.
