Also, all pizzas are fast food…
No, if you sit down in a pizzeria, order one, wait for it to be freshly made, than that’s no fast food.
Let’s check Wikipedia’s definition:
Fast food is a type of mass-produced food designed for commercial resale, with a strong priority placed on speed of service.
That does not apply to a pizza made on your order in a sit-down pizzeria where you wait just as long as in other kinds of restaurants.
It does, because it's literally the same. A fast food service still rolls out the dough, adds the tomato sauce, cheese and other ingredients and throws it into the oven for a few minutes. The only difference is that a big delivery service that specializes on pizzas is that they prepare much larger quantities beforehand, as they can expect to use much more than a restaurant.
But since you're such a fan of Wikipedia, you might want to read the fast food article proper:
Examples of fast food (left to right, top to bottom): Cheeseburger, soft drink, french fries, pizza margherita, hot dog, fried chicken, submarine sandwich, and donuts.
The UK has adopted fast food from other cultures as well, such as pizza, doner kebab, and curry. More recently, healthier alternatives to conventional fast food have also emerged.
Common menu items at fast food outlets include fish and chips, sandwiches, pitas, hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, hot dogs, and ice cream, though many fast food restaurants offer "slower" foods like chili, mashed potatoes, and salads.
etc.

Which is the critical difference - “with a strong priority placed on speed of service”. If you don’t prepare it with a focus on speed, and prepare it in a slow way, serve the customer in a more normal slow setting, then it’s not “fast food”.
No food is inherently fast food. Since you’re not American, and we invented fast food, the term refers specifically to how fast and convenient it is to get the food.
Go through the drive through in McDonald’s and I can get a hamburger in less than three minutes from order to them handing me the bag. But if I order a hamburger from a sit down diner, it will take 30 minutes sometimes.
The hamburger from McDonald’s is fast food. The hamburger from the diner is not.
