Writing the article, I wasn't thinking so much of the pizza by the slice, which you can buy all over the country. (Or panini for that matter, which you can take with you as well.) These "takeout" foods come on a thin sheet of (compostable) paper and are pretty informal, as you say. The type of takeout I had in mind in this article was takeout from restaurants, which (in the USA) often means really nice food in non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers. :) Thanks for keeping it real.

Sicily also has the "tavola calda", which serves foods like arancini and pizzette, which can be wrapped up and taken home. Then again, those are very informal foods. Nice restaurants certainly don't do "take out". Italians will do pizza to go, at least in Sicily they do.
