    Yes Pizza is a fast food.

    no it is not fast food.... I mean where do you get pizza, honestly?

    To you it is not. To me it is. You have problem with that.

    Just wondering where you're able to get pizza so fast that it's considered fast food. It takes at least 15 to 20 mins anywhere I go and thats doing carry out! Not even delivery.

    I'm very much a food snob...I've never had anything amazing at any chain restaurant...but like I said, I'm a total snob and I freely admit it.

    Hi, sure pizza is fast food! If you consider the Italian/Mediterranean meals and the time needed to arrange 'em. Please, also consider that home made pizza is a surrogate. High temperature ovens are needed (wodden fired oven are more suitable). A pizza is done in 5 mins, eaten in 10. Also, you don't wait for it at home. You move up and go to a pizzeria. Forget the cardboard taste, forget the spongy texture soaked in steam during transportation in cardboard boxes. Yes, pizza is fast food but pizza from fast food chains is not pizza! LOL

    IMO - if you can get it from a drive thru, its fast food.

    I'm still back on page 4 and keep seeing Home Run Inn as "best frozen pizza." Are all the actual HRI's gone and only the frozen is left? Haven't been across the lake in a while, if they're all gone I'm going to be sad.

    It takes less time to make a neopolitan pizza from scratch than it does to work your way through a McDonalds drivethru.

    In my opinion, I would say yes it is fast food because, well I think they make it pretty darn fast for how well the pizza is made. Its pretty greasy like fast food is, too.

    that is a pretty broad generalization …dominos, pizza hut, etc greasy, yes….homemade or a local spot, not so much ...

    Overeating pizza is just as bad as eating fast food.

    Well...she did also say that shes talking pizza from Pilot, a gas station. Cant really fault her for thinking bad of it when thats all shes knows, cause I have no doubt it sucks.

    Its sort of like when I hear people call Taco Bell Mexican food...my eye twitches a bit, having lived in San Diego as a kid and getting the real deal LoL. But there are a lot of people who really dont know any better, because fast food "Mexican" or in this case, gas station pizza..is all they really know to exist because where they live, they havnt been able to experience a type of food not in fast food form.

    There are still Home Run Inns around here. I've never actually been to one, though.

    My favorite pizza (that I rarely have, because millions of calories): http://pequodspizza.com/

    I don't know if it's still like what it used to be. It used to be tradition when my grandparents came home from Florida, we picked them up at Midway and went there for dinner.

    I think of fast food as about the style of restaurant (order at the counter or drive in, ready immediately) plus the type of food (standardized chain inexpensive). Similar service, no drive through, slightly more expensive is called quick service or quick casual or some such (like Pret a Manger or many other such places--Potbelly's is another here). My understanding is that those are restaurant marketing categories, not sure if there's any reason to pay them attention.

    Pizza seems different from a marketing category perspective (which again is all these are), since it's either delivery or sit down and wait.

    Does this matter nutritionally? No, but it's not like everything at a fast food place is the same either.

    Oh, and from way back, delivery that you pick up is takeout. Unless you are in the UK, where it seems to be called takeaway.
