My husband is Neapolitan real pizza is a delicacy, my FIL has is own wood oven in the backyard.
Domino, pizza hut and such just hits the spot when you feel like something carby-fatty-salty. For me it's fast food in the sense that it reward food that is lacking refinement. There is nothing wrong in having once in a while.0 -

All pizza? Hmm.0 -
Yup. I did it. I went to my local brewpub last night and ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza. And a couple large beers. And some wings
I ate 5 slices off the large pizza.
The other 3 are in my lunch bag to be consumed in about an hour.

Ok, that's it. Pizza tonight. We're headed to Spaghetti Western, so I think I'm going to go with the Ugly (as opposed to the Good or the Bad). It has grilled chicken, red onions, roma tomatoes and spicy chipotle tomatillo sauce.
And I was talking to my boyfriend about how pizza is a pie, so I think our gaming group is going to do pizza for lunch in honor of pi day...0 -

i worked at a pizza parlor for almost 2 years (left after I had my second child). We came in early to make the dough, proof it, etc. Chop fresh veggies, fruits, etc for the menu and the salad bar. Prep/bread and deep fry cuts of chicken and wedge whole potatoes for the hot bar.
some stuff was canned (the sauce), but most was fresh. I dont consider that fast food, because of the prep time, the cooking involved, and the cost.
However, the food was/is high sodium/calorie, and convenient. So some see that as fast food.
I eat mcdonalds or similar once a week, and I dont have trouble with meeting my day's goals.0 -
Wait.
Does pizza count for Pi day? Cause tomorrow will the most awesome one in this particular century 3-14-150 -
ah...but to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, is not a slice of pizza officially labeled as a vegetable? that would then mean that this is not fast food but some sort of "health food"

Like so many on this site, this thread has been an eye-opener for me. I had no idea so many people judged "fast food" based on nutritional content. I'd always thought it had to do with speed.0 -
I'd consider anything that you don't prepare and cook at home to be fast food. But, we call it street food, so the whole "fast" thing in regards to how long it takes to prepare doesn't really matter.0

I just read the thread, and now, like everyone else, I really want pizza. Too bad we don't have any pizzerias here... the nicest place we have is Papa John's. :P0

I agree here. Fast usually pertains to speed not ingredients. *shrugs*Need2Exerc1se wrote: »

Not quite. The ruling was that a slice of school lunch pizza contained 1 serving of vegetables, not that it is a vegetable.0 -
I have to stop reading this thread at least for 20 more minutes. The pizza in my lunch bag is calling to me...0

I have come to that place in my life where I judge food based on
1) Fuel + Hunger
2) Nutrition + Hunger
3) Taste + Hunger
I consider myself an athlete and I eat like one.
Sorry but I have to get going so if you respond to me and if you don't hear back for sometime that would be because I've gone offline. It's going to be crazy busy weekend. Spring Fever and the never ending to do list

I wasn't talking about judging food. I was talking about using a term.
But, your reponse does clear it up a bit, since it sounds like you consider "fast food" to be a judgement.0 -

"Judgement" as in judging others?0 -

So then, wouldn't you really not think about fast food? You would judge food based on your personal ranking system, so why even bother considering if pizza is fast food or not since you don't care about the speed in which it was created?0 -

Never been there.
All these people butt hurt over me saying their pizza is fast food. Of course it's fast food--you buy it when you're too busy to make it and you consume without the effort of cooking! And then of course there are the low quality kinds and the high quality kinds. 0 -

Just the tomato sauce. And containing a vegetable doesn't make you a health food, I don't think, or else people better start apologizing to the jalapeno poppers!0 -

I'm going out to eat tonight (no time to have people over for dinner before the play we are going to), and plan to consume my food without the effort of cooking. Does that mean I'm going out for fast food?
Again, these are marketing categories, and calling everything other than home cooking "fast food" wouldn't make much sense. That's not "butt hurt," it would just be confusing.0
