See, I gotta get excited about this stuff, too. Love me some American, especially deep-dish, Chicago-style (Zachary's in Oakland, anyone?); however, traditional pizza can be amazing. Flatbread-style crust with olive oil, garlic and fig jam, topped with prosciutto that winds up all crispy and fresh arugula? HELL YES!
I am more of a thin crust guy myself....

Prosciutto arugula is my fav, sprinkled with some fresh squeezed lemon juice!JustinAnimal wrote: »herrspoons wrote: »We were in Naples in 2008. The pizza there was godly - a totally different class.

I consider pizza as fast food. Though I suppose I have no justification for that. You know yes I do. It's because I don't get my pizza from places you can go sit down in nor did I make it. Since I never order pizza at a sit down restaurant. And I rarely sit for long in a McD's or what have you. It's a loose justification, but it's there. That being said... it kind of even depends on what kind of pizza. Cheese pizza is fast food. Margherita pizza isn't. Pep is. Chicken and spinach isn't. Weird. What's up with my brain.
So the toppings make it fast food?0 -

Double barf. Those Peeps look so disgusting. Too scared to try, then again I have never seen them in stores either...

IMO Pizza is not fast food unless it comes from a counter in a "fast food" type environment (think Pizza slices from Costco). Otherwise, nope... Frankly, I think that pizza is one of those foods that could be perfectly balanced. It has all 3 macros... So it's a superfood...clearly.0

Actually, it can be fast food, but doesn't have to be...and really shouldn't be if you're going to have some quality grub...
Fast food pizza...
Real pizza...

Maybe that's it. 1 topping or less and it's not enough effort put in? Hahah I'm not sure really, just going with my gut feeling here.0 -
Seriously this is an unanswerable question - so many variables! Probably also depends a lot on where you live. And doesn't really matter, since the fact that something is fast food doesn't determine whether it is healthy or not, whether it fits your macros or not, and whether it is yummy or not.
I am in NY, so this is just for starters:
Homemade pizza - not fast food
Pizzeria pizza - not fast food
Fancy pizza restaurant (we have a bunch of Coal-fired oven places around here) - not fast food
Chain pizza places - meh, I'd probably consider them fast food, though I don't think they fit the standard definition
Food court pizza (usually more pinky-orange colored and it seems like the cheese, sauce, and crust are one odd unnaturally fused thing) - fast food
Gas station/ 7-11 pizza - fast food
Having said this, when I someday take my rightful place in heaven, these six categories of pizza will comprise a large part of my diet. On the seventh day I will rest from pizza, and eat burgers.0 -

Lol you're going philosophical I see ahaha.... Shame because I was enjoying arguing about the pizza...
Whatever it's Pizza. It's delicious and it's tasty but in my world it's fast food.
Mind you - in my world.
Do you think that the op lives in your world, or the world?0 -
I don't consider pizza fast food. Mostly because I make my own. Sometimes we'll get pizza from a locally owned place, but we don't do chain pizza. Because it's gross.
I don't really know if I consider chain pizza to be fast food. It doesn't really matter to me either way though.0 -
Maybe Little Caesars because its ready when you walk in, otherwise it takes like 30-45 mins to deliver or 15 mins for pickup. Not fast.
"Fast food" just means they prep and give it to you fast. It doesn't mean anything other than that- all that matters is calorie counts and macronutrients0 -
What is fast food?
Is it food that is cooked fast, or ready made/prepared food that is sitting on the line ready to be grabbed by the cashier that is and thrown at you "fast" and quick like as you travel through the drive in window?
Fast food is the phenomenon that was invented for anything yummy that is cooked in grease/fat, loads of salt and preservatives and even the very high calorie shake, pies and other sweet and tasty things like mocho-chocolate-frappe-cream coffee that not even close to what you could make at home. Simply put, you would not cook like this at home and pack this much carbs, fat and sugars in it if you made it at home!
But all so yummy!!0 -
I really want pizza with a side of fries now.0
