Another factor to consider is that the economics make more sense in a dense environment. Most Americans are 10~20 minutes (by car) from the nearest pizza, whereas most Koreans are only 5 minutes from the restaurant (by motorbike). The difference in delivery prices is a full order of magnitude. (Food delivery in Seoul adds about $2 to the bill at current exchange rates.)
