It trails only the burger industry in supplying children's fast food calories. Menus are more limited and standardized than in traditional pizzerias, and pizza delivery is offered.
So if we go with the judgment of wiki, it depends.
Hell, I posted an Oxford Definition that said that basically said "it depends" on page 2. That's too easy though and people like to banter.

Google says: a dish of Italian origin consisting of a flat, round base of dough baked with a topping of tomato sauce and cheese, typically with added meat or vegetables.0 -
I know a certain endurance athlete on these forums who eats a bunch of stuff that people would say "athletes" do not eat...but he does....
Only the people who don't know much about being an athlete

^^ that is pizza that is fast food
otherwise, there's some pizza that's nicer than other pizza. pizza hut e.g. is like a grease bomb0 -

well even dominos and pizza hut put it an oven and cook it..
my guess is that pilot is microwaving a frozen pizza, putting it under a lamp, and selling it be the slice...0 -

i dunno, yeah you're right, probably just intuitively i'd call pizza hut, dominoes etc fast food. convenience food, for sure. that thing you described has to be stretching the definition of pizza, nasty nasty nasty0 -
Awwww!!! Forget about athlete question. It was part of the deal.0 -

You should see the threads on the dedicated triathlon forums (not MFP). There are plenty of "how the hell do I get enough calories for all this?"
The answer inevitably is stuff like "drink beer", "eat peanut butter and nutella from the jar", etc.0 -

something tells me it is going to be a dissertation on clean eating and that would just bore me....0 -

LOL you run into the same thing on the bulking forums...0 -
Of all the responses you got in this thread (and others), you flip out on me? Ok...Need2Exerc1se wrote: »melimomTARDIS wrote: »However, the food was/is high sodium/calorie, and convenient. So some see that as fast 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.
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
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?
Is that your definition about fast food.?
Because it ain't mine.
End of conversation with you.
BTW if you have intentions to try to bait me or harass me by quoting my comments any further , I highly recommend - don't.

We have found a recipe for Nutella cheesecake. My MIL is making for my husband and I after a half this Sunday. Neither of us are seriously athletic runners, but I'm in it to live a little.

Someone had a diary that they posted where they had the red robin mile high mud pie yesterday, and it looks very similar (although much larger) to a recipe that my mom made with coffee and chocolate ice cream, crushed macaroons, toffee pieces, and chocolate sauce. Now I really want to make some diana torte...0 -

Clean eating conversation with me ... .... blech it bores me too. YEAH!!! I wash my food before eating and that's pretty much my definition of how I eat clean food. But no I never enter those threads. You'll never see me in them unless there are cat gifs.0 -
Heck no it's not. Now if you go to Little Caesars and grab their Hot n Ready, then yeah, that *kitten* is fast food.0

No. Pizza doesn't have a classification because it's literally from the heavens.0
