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

Sometimes you see another kind of restaurant, like Chinese, that delivers, but it's much less common than pizza delivery. Why?Why is pizza so commonly delivered, while other foods aren't?
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.
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. =]Why is pizza so commonly delivered, while other foods aren't?
Because a pizza costs about 50 cents to make and it is a HUGE profit food, easy to deliver, and easy to keep warm.
No plates, no forks...easy clean upWhy is pizza so commonly delivered, while other foods aren't?
easily portable?
pizza is easy and it does not create a mess plus that is the way it has always been...
Great question. hmm maybe beacuse they are just lazy. lol
hmmm dont know... because pizza usually costs more and people buy more of it? I would like to see hamburgers delivered more
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.
because pizza's purpose is to get people FAT AND LAZY.. so those to order pizza are to lazy to go drive and get it.. so they have it delivered..
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.
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.
It is hard to keep food warm but not dry it out when you deliver.
Good question. Can't wait to see the answers.
Hate 2 rub UR nose in it but Our local Chinese delivers.

Also the Indian %26amp; the chip-shop.



I live in the UK, if they didn't offer 2 deliver I don't think their businesses would survive.

:)
There are a ton of restaurants by my house that deliver -- Italian, ribs, mexican, etc, etc.....
Because it's a party food, and just like other party essentials (booze etc...) it has to be delivered, because the people craving it are too drunk to drive (or even walk).
I wonder about that myself
A lot do so nowadays (at least in my neck of the woods)
because pizza gives the seller

a 600-900 percent profit.



if you make a good pie

and like working 60 hr weeks



you can be rich like me .
Because delivery has become like a tradition when it comes to pizza.
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.
competition is the main reason. A pizza place HAS to deliver to keep its business share.
I agree with inquisitive, pizza is easy and its taste good!
easy to deliver easy to make doesn't take a lot of time, and a lot of people like it
coz pizza is readly made and and its nice to eat
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.
Pizza is quick and easy to make; easily packaged and a lot of people order them so it's economically feasible for restaurants to deliver them.
good question !!! if burgers and fries delivered or kfc, they would be rich !!! lol
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!
it's an easy thing to make and deliver...not too messy and stays pretty hot....alot of people are more confortable with the pizza over chinese because it is easy to see what is in or on the pizza whereas chinese is somewhat foreign.....thats my take on it :)
