We have a place down the street that has about 5 restaurants. They have frozen pizzas at the local markets. I usually have 4 or 5 of those in the freezer. Everyone else is doing the same thing though as they are hard to find these days.
First toilet paper then ammo now pizza!

I confess to being a bit of a frozen pizza junkie. I even have a toaster oven made specifically for them, with a rounded back edge so there's room and I don't have to heat up the power-hungry fullsize oven.
I also keep ground beef on hand, to make tacos. And, I really like the frozen Fit Bowl meals from various brands - one has a really nice spicy chicken with mashed potatoes, peas, corn, and hot sauce; any of the beef and broccoli's are good; one company makes a really good beef merlot. My freezer is full of those, the pizzas, and a ton of bags of SteamFresh veggies.
Another one I'll do (yes, I'm a bachelor) is spicy italian brats on the grill, and a packet of spanish rice / taco rice / mexican rice from Knorr. Cut the brats into medallions, cook the rice in the microwave, mix together with texas pete and some shredded sharp cheddar....mmm.
And my coronary-in-a-pan: boneless chicken strips, wrapped in bacon, covered with brown sugar and a spicy grill rub. Bake and enjoy. And have rolls or biscuits handy to soak up the juice, that stuff is gooooood!

You're making me hungry stop it!

I cook a lot - one of my favorite activities is to fire up the grill or smoker, and since I have a 12 x 21 pavilion (with lights and ceiling fans) out by the pool, I'll roll whichever cooker I am using up under cover, and BBQ rain or shine...
That said, I had to vote for pizza and wings. I combined those two last week by making buffalo chicken pizza from scratch, homemade dough and all. My Lodge 14" cast iron pizza pan, preheated to 450-500 degrees, turns out an excellent crust. I also made tacos last week. Just this week am I thinking of supporting some of the locally owned restaurants by ordering some take out or delivery.

Here in Huntsville that is an option - we have a takeout/delivery place called "Steak-Out". I can order online, and have it delivered.... steak AND baked potato!

Live in a big city suburb. Lots of steakhouses and such are still serving it to go. One place is a 5oz filet, tater and asparagus for $12 . Big cities can be a curse and a blessing

I grew up in the city but I don't count steak houses as takeout. I guess with the current situation takeout from major restaurants are our only option now with indoor seating closed.
I prefer taco Bell before any of the fast food burger joints.
Nothing like a couple chicken tacos and Mexican pizza!
Then a lengthy bathroom break......
