Is pizza a fast food?

[Strider]

This is a very important question. Do you consider pizza to be a fast food along the line of McDonald's or Burger King?

Personally, I don't. I mean, come on, a pizza takes like 15 minutes to make... that's not fast.

[oddler]

7 min. to be accurate. Yes, I consider it fast food.

Edit: fast food
–noun food, as hamburgers, pizza, or fried chicken, that is prepared in quantity by a standardized method and can be dispensed quickly at inexpensive restaurants for eating there or elsewhere.

Quicker than a restaurant or doing it yourself so YEP.

The way I was brought up I was always told that It was. It is, really, its already pre-made and you just put it in the oven/microwave for a few minutes. Thats fast food.

[Roto13]

It takes, like, a half an hour. No, it's not fast food any more than chinese food is.

[Miriel]

If it comes from somewhere like Pizza Hut, then yes, it's fast food.

Gourmet pizza from actual restaurants, not so fast food-ish.

Chinese food can be fast food, just depends on where you get it. Panda Express, Pick up Stix, China Wok, all fast food places that serve Chinese food.

Making pizza from scratch is one of the most time-intensive recipes one good engage in. When my dad makes pizza he's usually in the kitchen for a few hours, not to mention the three or four hours of just waiting for the dough to rise.

It's fast if you order it and it's not if you're making it by yourself...I'm doing both and they're fast so it should be fast food, like gyros!!!

[Tavrobel]

Yes, as long as you aren't making it yourself.

It's also as artery clogging as most fast-foods, so yes, by all means.

[Mr.Bogus]

I take a lot of time eating a pizza...i miss the day when fish and chips were fast food.

Good chinese food then.

[Kanshisha]

It's not really fast food because just like what strider mentioned. Kepp in your minds aswell that the pizza boy / girl will have to drive or take a bike all the way to your place.Then you've got to find money,The prepare the plates to eat on. thats pretty much like a whole half an hour!

[Rye]

Miriel has it right. Gross Pizza Hut/Dominos places that people like my boyfriend like are fast food. Good places that make REAL PIZZA are not fast food. :]

[Araciel]

i say no, it's not fast food...but it can be purchased as such, just like a hamburger isn't fast food, but can be purchased as such.
