So you have plans for supper. Problem is, nothing's going right. The oven's broken, the food is frozen or inedible, no pans are available, and/or you're pressed for time. No need to fear; there's always at least one restaurant nearby to resolve this plight so no one goes hungry! There are two types: openly taking guests to the restaurant or discreetly buying the restaurant food and serving it on your own plates, to trick the guests. This is not uncommon for Real Life families to do this when dinner plans don't go the way they should, making this Truth in Television. May be used as an alternative for a Masochist's Meal. Compare Convenience Store Gift Shopping, which can involve gifts bought when pressed for time. See also Peking Duck Christmas. Examples |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): In the Misadventures arc, the Rabbit Family spent the better part of an evening preparing a big dinner for Team Chaotix, only for Rough and Tumble to ruin everything, including the roast, appetizers, and gelatin dessert, greatly upsetting Cream. By the time her mom, Vanilla, gets home, everything has been in some way or another destroyed, which is exactly when the Chaotix also show up. After things have calmed down, Vanilla orders Chinese takeout for everyone, including the Skunk Brothers (who were the reason why everything went to hell in the first place). | |

Rugrats: The original 1991 series: In "Chuckie Gets Skunked", when Chuckie ends up bathing in Grandma Minka's Borst she and Grandpa Boris brought over for dinner—which ends up getting rid of the skunk smell, Stu says he'll go pick up pizzas to replace it. "The Turkey Who Came to Dinner": While it's not takeout, given it's decided the Turkey will live because they befriended the babies and the other food was destroyed when the microwave overheated, the adults settle for serving Reptar Cereal instead. The fact that the Turkey doesn't arrive soon enough to begin with and everyone can't agree on how they want to make said Turkey prompts a bunch of them to travel to a supermarket that actually happens to be opened to see what they can all get their hands on. "Discover America": When all the food for the cookout ends up wrecked, pizza is once again the substitute used to replace it. The B-plot of the 2021 reboot episode, "Rattled" involves Grandpas Lou and Boris attempting to make Stu and Didi's favorites for dinner; mushroom rigatoni and lemon chicken. When their attempts end in disaster, they decide to get Stu and Didi takeout for dinner. |

The Simpsons In "Homer The Smithers", when Homer attempts to cook breakfast for Mr. Burns, all of the food he tries to make caught on fire... including breakfast cereal and milk. He would eventually give him donuts from Lard Lad's and coffee from Kwik-E-Mart. In "22 Short Films About Springfield" Principal Skinner has Superintendent Chalmers over for lunch and manages to burn the roast, so he climbs out the window and gets burgers from the local Krusty Burger, calling them "steamed hams". (It's an Albany expression.) |

Alex Rider: How cooking works in the world of Jack Starbright: 1) Order Chinese. 2) Get a pan out. 3) Wipe a little sauce inside the pan so it looks like you cooked. Ian's amusement when he thanks her for cooking suggests he knows exactly what's up. | |

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: A particularly infuriating example comes from "Imposter's Home For Um... Make Em' Up Pals", where Bloo and a new imaginary friend eat all of the food that was supposed to go towards making dinner for the house. When this is discovered Frankie decides to order some takeout, but she's forced to go out again to get more food to actually make something. Cue her coming back to see that the house ordered pizza while she was out, making her entire second trip useless. In the short, "Give Pizza a Chance", all the food in the refrigerator spoils when Bloo leaves the door open, so Frankie gets Wilt to order pizza. When Frankie discovers that the pizza he ordered for the house is over the budget they have, Bloo tackles the Pizza man and gets Eduardo to sit on him for thirty minutes so they can get free pizza. |

Animaniacs (1993): One short is a take on the famous "Witch's scene" from Macbeth, in which the three witches (played here by Dot Warner, Hello Nurse and Slappy Squirrel) recite the lines from the same scene in the play, while Yakko translates it into something the audience will understand. His version makes it sound like they're just trying to cook dinner (with Wakko throwing in assorted odd ingredients as they name them), and at the end he hops into the scene to ask what they're actually cooking up. Even the "witches" aren't sure, until their brew summons forth Mr. Director, to their great horror. After trapping him back in the cauldron and sending it blasting off, Yakko suggests that they just send out for pizza. | |

The Oatmeal: In the strip "Why I don't eat at home", Inman is about to order from Mr. Chang's Chinese Pizza Barn, but sees a TV commercial talking about why fast food is bad for you. He decides to cook Pekingese Bison Casserole from a recipe book labeled Recipes! Super EZ! (Haha Not Really), but ends up making a grey pile of sludge that taunts him about his lack of cooking skills. Finally, he just gives up and orders from Mr. Chang's, looking very happy as he shovels pizza into his mouth. | |

Garfield: One strip had Jon measure chili powder for a dish. He has a heaping pile in a measuring cup, and asks Garfield if it's enough. Garfield okays it, causing the mixture to explode as the chili powder is poured in. Garfield then tells Jon to ditch it out and order pizza. Another has Jon prepare a lasagna dinner for Liz. Off-strip, Garfield, who loves lasagna, gets to it first, so the two decide to eat out. A strip from July 2018 has Garfield dance because Jon burned dinner so he's ordering pizza. |

Sesame Street: On Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, Lily Tomlin played a five-and-a-half-year-old girl named Edith Ann, who has made a few appearances on Sesame Street. In one of these spots, Edith Ann tells about the time she made a sandwich for her dog, Buster, using mustard, peanut butter, salami, cheese, lettuce, pickles, raisins, pretzels, tuna, oatmeal, and a black olive. Buster doesn't want to eat it, and Edith Ann, after trying it, has to admit it tastes gross. She is forbidden by her mother to make sandwiches until she is six. The song "Eighteen", a parody of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen", is an animated segment featuring a girl who decides to have a sandwich for lunch. When she sees eighteen different varieties, she can't make up her mind which one to have and decides to send out for pizza. |

Meg Langslow Mysteries: In Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos, Meg has promised Michael's mother she'll give her the recipe for a meal she'd served; only problem is, the meal she'd cooked had been ruined and she'd gotten carry-out from a nearby fancy restaurant. She tried getting a similar recipe online but it wasn't nearly as good. Meg's mom solves the problem by negotiating a trade with the restaurant's famous chef to get the actual recipe in exchange for Meg, a blacksmith, making him a custom wine rack. | |

Arlo Guthrie's episode subverts it: After the Chef fails to cook a proper meal and instead gets assaulted by everything in the kitchen, Kermit suggests to the Chef that he send out for pizza. However, in the ending, the Chef serves an entire meal of vitamin pills. |

General Hospital. A disastrous Thanksgiving at the Quartermaines has become so standard that everyone knows it expects that they'll be ordering pizza before the night over. The worst example had to be estranged son Jason showing up with a turkey to replace the one that had been destroyed—looking like for once they'll have a traditional dinner—only to have that one get ruined as well when a pair of burglars runs out of the house. | |

Finally Robin suggests, "Maybe we should just go out for pizza." Cut to the pizzeria, and now they're arguing about toppings. | |

FoxTrot: Andy ruins Thanksgiving dinner due to trying too hard to make it better than the Thanksgiving dinners her mother (whom she has always felt overshadowed by due to her mother being The Ace) makes. After they resolve the issue (by her mom revealing that she had a similar relationship with her mother) the family orders pizza. Another has Jason reveal he's secretly rigged the stove to flare up by remote control, ensuring their mother's latest horrible health food concoction is ruined and they have to order pizza. Another has a pizza guy showing up at the door, Roger claiming they didn't order any, then paying for it and telling Andy the forces of fate have ordered dinner for them (and it's apparently not the first time)note The "forces of fate" actually being their kids ordering pizza without their parents' knowledge. |

On Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, Lily Tomlin played a five-and-a-half-year-old girl named Edith Ann, who has made a few appearances on Sesame Street. In one of these spots, Edith Ann tells about the time she made a sandwich for her dog, Buster, using mustard, peanut butter, salami, cheese, lettuce, pickles, raisins, pretzels, tuna, oatmeal, and a black olive. Buster doesn't want to eat it, and Edith Ann, after trying it, has to admit it tastes gross. She is forbidden by her mother to make sandwiches until she is six. | |

Ramona Quimby: During Beezus' birthday in Beezus and Ramona, she gets upset when Ramona ruins two of her birthday cakes. The first time, Ramona as an experiment shoves a dozen eggs, shells and all, into the batter, and starts the electric mixer. To distract her while Mother bakes the second cake, Beezus reads Hansel and Gretel to Ramona; when Ramona pretends to be Hansel, spilling cracker crumbs on the rug, Beezus suggests that she pretends to be Gretel instead. Ramona then shoves her doll into the oven while the cake is baking, pretending to push the witch in to get baked. The rubber and plastic ruin the cake so that Mother has to ask Aunt Beatrice to buy one from the store. | |

Life with Derek: "The Wedding": Casey ends up canceling the Caterer for the wedding due to the fact that the food they were gonna prepare was hotdogs, mini-pizzas and ice cream. Derek then calls a friend or fellow student to get his dad's Greek restaurant to provide the food last-minute. "Dinner Guest": Casey is desperately trying to prepare a fancy meal for her dad's visit that night and it gets wrecked due to both falling on the floor and the red peppers in a paper bag in the oven catching on fire. They all order pizza shortly after that. "A Very Derekus Christmas": Given the size of the two quails that are cooked aren't enough to feed the whole family, Derek has a delivery guy with four-wheel drive deliver Chinese food in the snowstorm. |
