I mean, for me, it doesn't make any sense to have food from a sit-down restaurant, or from a place with a drive-thru delivered. Like, you go to a sit-down restaurant both for the food & because it's a place to go that's not your house or work. With drive-thru, yeah you're not investing a significant amount of time getting the food, nor do you have to co-ordinate ordering it, and then remembering to go pick it up (an issue for me, cause of ADHD/ASD). But with pizza it's so ubiquitous, and you usually do have to order it before picking it up, it kind of just makes more sense to have it delivered I guess? I mean I know people who don't have it delivered, but they always buy from like Little Ceasars or something, which is fair because they have pre-made pizzas, so it's like drive-thru, but if you weren't going for that, idk delivery doesn't seem that much more expensive? IDK.

I should say that I very rarely actually eat anything that I didn't cook myself anyways, so shrug-outta-hecks

Oh yeah, it's not a decision based in logic. It's just been burned into my brain as being a waste of money and now I find it completely unrelaxing to pay someone else to bring me pizza or whatever.

pizza's gotten so much more expensive in my city that adding $5+ for delivery and a tip for the delivery person just puts it into "I simply can't justify this" price territory. Plus the places that are cheap are not close by nor do they taste good. Dominos is so bready and dehydrating that I can't do it anymore and most other places aren't near as cheap. So I bike or walk to the 1 or 2 places that are close by and then I can afford to tip the cooks not just the delivery driver.
