The dough is commonly pre-made in the morning, and most likely, all the meat is sliced and separated, as are the vegetables. Really, everything is there in containers simply waiting to be applied to a freshly thrown pizza.

In most cases, the only thing fresh about pizza is that it is tossed then and there (which only takes five seconds if you are practiced in doing so).

What takes time is the actual cooking of the pizza, which can range from 10 - 25 minutes depending on the type and what other things you might be cooking in the oven at the moment.

It's fast food.
