I think I’m old fashioned but I just don’t understand the appeal of these food delivery services.

"Old-fashioned"? Nice try, Grandpa. I'm approaching retirement, and delivery of restaurant food has been a thing since before I was born. Hell, Domino's was founded in 1960.

But not fast food delivery. This is a recent thing. And most restaurants didn’t do delivery. I don’t see the point of ordering a meal that is best eaten hot to be delivered when it comes to the house warm.

Hey, I quoted you accurately. :-) But fair enough. My counter would be that if your bar has fallen to fast food territory, perhaps warmth and presentation isn't an issue at that point for some folks. But I haven't been part of the fast food demographic for decades, so what do I know?

tbh, I see little difference between pizza and general fasfood.

I would even prefer KFC bucket with 25 chicken wings delivered to me, not pizza (which is mostly bread)

Domino's comes under the genre of fast food too. It's not all just burgers and fries.
