I was at home with a bunch of my friends and we were going to order pizza. When I was on the phone with the person that worked at the resturant one of my friends sugested that we should go to the resturant instead of ordering. This brung up an argument about wether we should order or go to the resturant. I told the person on the phone that we wanted to cancle the order and after I hung up the phone all my friends were arguing and yelling at each other. Someone sugested that we take a vote and we did. The results were order 4 and eat at the resturant 3. We did end up ordering but it took a long time for the pizza to arive. I was woundering wether other people would have ordered food or gone to the resturant?

for me it depends...if my friends and i are in my house and we're having some activities there and restaurant is far from home...then it would be more convenient to just order by phone...i am just wondering why your pizza delivery took a long time to arrive...coz here in my place when you order pizza it will be delivered as fast as possible and usually it is still hot when it arrives... eating out in a restaurant is also nice for there are many varieties to choose from and its also fun eating out especially with friends...now if you don't have anything to do in the house and restaurant is just nearby or you have an easy access going there, then its okay... no matter where you eat, what you do, as long as you are in good terms with your company, enjoy your company, have fun with them, and then anything will be fine...

I think i would prefer to eat out at a resturant. I like it when we order when we are having a lazy night in and we cant be bothered to cook, but i think you get a great atmosphere at a resturant, you communicate more with friends and family because your not watching tv while you eat.

im assumin you mean order a takeaway, it depends on the friends and the ocassion if your all drinkin i would have it delievered. Otherwise i would go eat at the restaurant as normally doing it means a faster service as they dont want you to complain and leave.

I rather to eat than to order, to enjoy the food when it is hot and fresh, it is more yummy, and the ambience of the place of the restaurant are good in our sight,if you only see that place in that particular day,to have a remembrance when every places and restaurant that you been through.

I prefer to eat at resturants but it depends as well. There are certain resturants where I do not like ordering take out from. For example, chinese in my opinion is a food that you can have as take out or eat in a resturant. Sushi I will not eat take out I prefer eating in the resturant. On the weekends I like to order pizza, I really do not like to eat pizza in a resturant. Also big chain resturants like Fridays, Chillis, Olive Garden I would not like to get take out because to me it is not the same as when you order it inside.

I do prefer eating in a restaurant. I like the whole experience of getting ready and going and sitting with no distractions over a meal. At home you slob out, sit on the couch and often end up with indigestion. My hubby would prefer to stay home because he works away monday to friday so enjoys being here.

If I eat at a restaurant, I would rather eating there. I dont like to do take away because I like real hot or cold food, I like it to be served on the table and I can eat immediately. And the other thing is I need to tip anyway so I would prefer to stay at the restaurant and enjoy the meal!

Since I already go to a restaurant, I rather eat there and be serve. I don't care the cost as long as I am satisfied. What's the point of going there if I want to take the food home? I never call to order the food though, I hate waiting for the food to arrive. If at home, I rather cook my own meal. It's more satisfying.

it depends on my mood and the situation of things around that time, i may have to order the food if i am busy especially at home and if i have time to spare, i can stay in the restaurant and eat and i may even be there for hours till i can get time to go home

I would rather eat in a restaurant than order from the restaurant and have it delivered to our home since you can eat the food right away compared to delivered foods since it will take some time to reach you.

I prefer to eat in the restraunt rather than giving the order because bringing something to home also includes an tax.moreover it depends upon whether i am all alone or with a group of my friends. if I am with group of friends then i would prefer to order the eatables.

lol,i find u'r all very interesting. if only these two choices,maybe i also will order food. cause i can eat at home, at the same time, i can listen to what music i want, i can be sitted on what sofa or chair i want,very leisurely,i mean. but i also think there's advantage for going to eat in the restaurant. maybe we this generation are before the computer or tv too much time. so we can consider it as a chance to have a walk or exercise.hehe

It depends on the day. I often feel like just staying in cuz it's more comfy (and something I just don't feel like leaving the House XD), but if there is something my family and I could/should celebrate I prefer to go to a Restaurant (doesn't need to be a fancy please, just something nice *winks*.)

I prefer to order out. It usually makes me uncomfortable to eat in a restaurant because I don't really like to eat in front of other people
