No. You don't usually get pizza within minutes of ordering it.

That doesn't count. The food still took considerable time to hand prepare. If that's the case, BBQ that takes all day is fast food.

It depends. Little Caesar's is fast food. Ordering a pizza at a restaurant is not.

I consider it convenience food rather than fast food, its not all that fast but it's available to be delivered so it's convenient.

Not necessarily. With the right ingredients pizza can be healthy.

From Domino's and Pizza Hut? I can see a home made pizza or something being made healthy, but not really theirs...

Um, that's what he said. "With the right ingredients" kinda excludes chains like Pizza Hut and Dominos. MOST pizza is healthy.

Chains like Dominos and Pizza Hut are the ones the thread is focusing on, per the OP. Which is what my original comment of "junk food" was referring too...

I kinda assumed the TC just had bad eating habits and only knew of those places to get pizza, but was actually referring to all pizza in general.

It's not really good for you.

If you make it yourself, though, it can be. Low fat cheese, homemade sauce, lot's of veggies, and whole wheat crust can make a very healthy meal.

Nah, I would say that its convenience food more than anything else as it takes usually around ten minutes to prepare.

I don't think so, Pizza isn't made ready right away. Buying by the slice doesn't count it

Eh, I don't consider it fast food. Junk food, yes. But not fast food.

Depends. Is a delivery time of 30 minutes considered "fast" to you? If so, then yes.

Yes, they take less then a minute to put all the toppings on and 7 minutes through the oven. I worked at a Pizza Hut when I was younger.

Usually I think it is, like when it's something you go and pick up or gets delivered right to you. You don't put any time or effort into making it so I think it's fast food.

Your going to have to explain this one.. Pizza can be made in short order (Hot n Ready).. Not to mention its just as bad as those foods you just pointed out.
