Why is pizza so commonly delivered, while other foods aren't?

Question

Sometimes you see another kind of restaurant, like Chinese, that delivers, but it's much less common than pizza delivery. Why?

Answer 1

Pizza is flat and easy to transport, you can stack like 10 pizzas on the back of a motorcycle, and doesn't spill or suffer that much during transportation, I guess. But in other countries you can get deliver for McDonald's and Burger King, as well as most fast food.

Answer 2

I think it is because pizza takes so long to make, the drivers have time to deliver a few pizza while more are making. But fast food is just that, fast. It may take only 5 minutes to make one order as opposed to 20 minutes to make one pizza. If you have ever had to wait on your food at McDonald's the longest you normally wait is 2-6 minutes, so the McDonald's would have to hire 4 or 5 delivery people as opposed to Pizza Huts 1. It is total economics.

Answer 3

When you live in a huge metropolis like Los Angeles, just about anything and everything is deliverable from a restaurant or cafe. (organic food, Indian cuisine, Thai cuisine, sandwiches)

The only drawback is: there is a minimum delivery amount of check and usually a restriction on how far the delivery can be driven from the locale of the restaurant or cafe.

Pizzas don't seem to have these two restrictions.

Also they are easy to keep warm in those marvelous boxes which are designed specifically for them.

Answer 4

I think because they are so fast and easy to make. They have an assembly line, and it's pretty much always going to be the same thing, just different toppings. With other foods you could have so many different orders that it would be a lot more difficult to do. I know a lot of other places that deliver though, especially chinese or sandwich places. Still not as popular I guess though...so yea I'm gonna stick with my first answer lol. =]

Answer 5

I do not know as a pizza is also a Chinese dish for the poor man.
There are Chinese restaurants who also have pizza on the menu and some do deliver any dish at home or to my place of work.

Answer 6

the familiar order at a pizza located at a pizza place is plenty greater advantageous than at a speedy nutrition place, so the added value to offer the nutrition is often no considered a considerable element of shoppers. to illustrate in case you order $30 funds worth of pizza and that they value you $5 to offer it extremely is cool. yet once you order a $5 meal at McDonald's and the value you $5 for transport you would be dissatisfied. The transport quotes might might desire to be an identical because of the fact it'd nevertheless a same hard artwork and gasoline to get the nutrition on your place.

Answer 7

Most Applebees have a car side service. If you do not feel like eating inside the restaurant. You can call ahead...usually about 20 minutes and come to the restaurant and then someone will come out to your car get your money and have the food ready for you and you can eat it at home work or wherever.

Answer 8

its just a old saying for delivery of pizza but you can pretty much get anything deliver now adays since service is what brings in the customers.

Answer 9

Pizza is cheap, transports well, constitutes a complete meal to many people, and is very simple to make. Even bad pizza is good at times, but delivery burgers could be HELL!

Answer 10

Because it's a food for commoners. hahaha.

No really I don't know. anyway a lot of other foods are delivered. I think you'd better ask the Italians, they started this whole mess in the first place.
