Neither are true in the US. For variety, there’s usually not a lot beyond Italian, Chinese, and maybe subs, if you’re not in a major downtown area (and even then, other options are usually meant for offices and are basically mini-catering services). And reusable dishes are just much less wasteful, but imagine stacking plates outside your door! Neighbors or management would complain, they’d get stolen or broken … Impossible. Sigh.

I wonder if any of the “How do you find out…?” “Other” respondents are ordering through the Wii. Wish I could!
