Why is pizza available for delivery much more often than other kinds of food?

If I wanted to order a KFC fried chicken delivery I would be out of luck.





Why is pizza one of those commonly delivered items......but not so much with other foods?Why is pizza available for delivery much more often than other kinds of food?
You have a knack for asking questions in the wrong category, Lois. Pizza is a party food, lots of folks order it in quantities for football games, other events, so it makes sense.Why is pizza available for delivery much more often than other kinds of food?
Well some of it is practicality because it doesn't pay off or they think it won't, and some of it is inflexibility. Franchises (most) don't want their stores doing things different than their other stores. They get very serious about that.

Pizza has a long history of delivery and stores tend to sell a lot of it. Still some pizza places won't deliver.
Pizza has a high mark up, for a food that is impossible to produce at home.



The key to delivery is a high mark up over food costs. Pizza couples this with an oven temperature requirement that isn't duplicative at home.



Cheese, sauce, dough.





In comparison, fried chicken has a narrow profit margin and anyone could make it at home.Why is pizza available for delivery much more often than other kinds of food?
That depends on where you live. I used to live in Manhattan and I could get anything delivered from Chinese to Sandwiches to Weed. There used to be a service that you could order from a specific restaurant and they would deliver the food to you. The problem was the demand was not high enough for foods other than Chinese and pizza.
Maybe because of the lack of sit down pizza joints there are and the only way to stay in business was to offer to deliver the product.Why is pizza available for delivery much more often than other kinds of food?

Actually, it's because tomato paste/sauce holds its heat for a very long time.
because us political nerds prefer pizza
Its simple and quick to make. Same with Chinese food.
