Whatever happened to fast-food Italian?
Fazoli's sucks now.
>>21920625>Whatever happened to fast-food Italian?You mean like pizza? Pizza joints are everywhere.
>>21920656OP's image isn't just pizza so I think they meant for things other than pizza.
>>21920625Everyone knows this doesn't exist.Just order from the 5 best local family restaurants where you live. Fresh garlic knots, homemade soups, properly made salads, homey baked pasta dishes, bakery quality desserts.
>>21920656Pizza isn't fast food. Pizza takes time.
>>21920694If they make the pizza in advance and you just get slices that are kept warm or warmed to order then no it doesn't take time.>wow wtf that sounds worse than fresh-madeIt's fucking fast food retard, of course it's going to be worse than freshly made to order. Doesn't mean it's not an option at a lot of pizza places.
>>21920694I've never waited longer for a pizza in a Pizza Hut or a Dominos than I've waited in KFC or McDonalds for a burger.
most pizza joints have pasta too. most snack bars/cheese store have spaghetti and/or lasagna on the menu (because the red meat sauce is already ready for italian poutine). There's also a lot of "italian" tv diners, and the ingredients are no worse than what you'd find in a fast food joint (installations might actually be cleaner than fast food)
>>21920656>>21920702>>21920736Y'all are retards. Fast food means DRIVE-THRU. Last I checked you don't get that at pizzerias or family restaurants or whatever the fuck you all are going on about
>>21920738I can get spaghetti and pizza in a drive-thru, get a better town.
>>21920744We are quite obviously talking about the US not wherever that is
>>21920738>Fast food means DRIVE-THRU.That's never been the defining criteria of what constitutes fast food, you actual retard. In no universe. Unsurprisingly, fast food is defined as food that's made very fast after the order, usually pre-made to various levels and the rest of the steps are completed on order.
>>21920744TOKEBAKICITTE
>>21920748no it means drive thru
>>21920758I drive my dick thru your mom's pussi.
>>21920625>>21920625WA LA!
>>21920661>>21920745>they've never heard of FazolisI miss when Fazolis was a /ck/ meme
>>21920738I present little ceasar's to you, dumbass. Also sbarro's and fazoli's. It's not super common but it exists even by your retarded definition that excludes countless locations where you can walk in and get a slice of ready pizza in 30 seconds if there's no line.
>>21920844>>21920854Most of the US doesn't have either of these so they don't count.
>>21920858>most of the US doesn't have fucking LCWrong. Just admit you were wrong, retard. This is pathetic.
>>21920744pour moi, c'est la grande poutine
>>21920887There's a difference between just "Little Caesars" and "Little Caesars with a drive-thru". Back to school with you.
>>21920858Goal Post status: moved
>>21920893Hardly. We all know what "fast food" means and it's standalone restaurants serving up slop in drive-thrus. That's what it is. Nothing anyone has responded with has demonstrated that "fast food Italian" is readily available in the United States.
>>21920892And many LC have drive thrus just like many McDonald's have drive thrus. There are Mcdonald's restaurants in malls that don't have drive thru so not all McDonald's have drive thru locations too. It's established that LC has drive thrus so if you want to say it "doesn't count" then you need to prove that there aren't enough of them percentage-wise for it "to count" by your shitty arbitrary standard that keeps shifting.
Fazolis got me through college. $6 for a giant tray of baked spaghetti, a drink and I’d sit there and study for a couple hours while the breadstick wench did her rounds. That same meal is probably like $18 plus tip plus tax plus tip on the tax now.
>>21920625People realized that it's never worth it to pay someone else to cook pasta and tomato sauce. That shit is basically free.
>>21920625I think a dedicated fast food pizza drive thru could work. You'd just need to figure out the ovens.
