    Basically: Pizza from ASDA to heat up; yes. Pizza from an Italian restaurant, made fresh: nope.

    Its like comparing a packaged cupcake and a black forest gateau. Well, not really, but you see what I mean.

    it seems to me that it gets mass produced in the vein of mcdonalds or burger king (thinking of big chains like pizza hut) so I voted yes.

    Some pizzerias may be more along the lines of Whatta-burger here in Arkansas (not the national chain one!), which serves burgers that are definitely not fast-food.

    Fast food to my thinking is food that is prepared as effortlessly and quickly as possible, and as cheaply, to the direct reduction of quality. But that's just me.

    No, its not fast food unless the pizza shop has a drive through that you can go through in less than 5 min.
    It looks like the ground had a sex change.

    Pizza Hut makes it's dough fresh every morning. Thin crust pizza dough gets made at least twice a day. Once all the dough is made they set it aside and wait for the order. When the order comes down they take the dough, add the toppings, and then cook it. That's not fast food at all. It's homemade every time.

    No way. Pizza usually takes at least 15-20 minutes.

    It may not always be the fasted served food, but

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

    Basically, yep I do.

    Pizza is greasy and usually pretty unhealthy, and thus I consider it to be fast food.

    According to Wikipedia "Fast food is food cooked in bulk and in advance and kept warm, or reheated to order."

    I kinda agree with that definition, so yes if pizza is prepared as above, no if not. Generally in my experience it isn't. I usually consider fast food to be food that is already cooked/cooking before you've even asked for it (or at least usually as lines do run out). You walk in, order food, they pick the food off a heated rack and give it to you - fast. I think some pizza places do work like that though.

    Reheating to order might put more pizza outlets in the running, but I dunno, would really vary.

    I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.

    If you were to go into a Pizza shop, it's not exactly the fastest food to make. However, if you go to Pizza Hut, it is a junk food along the ranks of Burger King.

    I always thought that fast food was food you can eat with your hands.

    Anyway, yes, I think it's a kind of fast food.

    I don't care what it is, what matters is that it is heavenly. And pizza is just that.
