BASFA goes to pizza places because pizza places have become 'traditional' for not-small, informal outings of an unstructured kind. (Into which category BASFA falls nicely.)

Other venues (in general) don't reliably provide the sort of facilities and food opportunities to cater to a group of 'between ten and thirty people, straggling in over a 90 minute period, some of whom (and some not) will be ordering food of differing kinds in various amounts, and all paying separately'. Pizza joints seem to expect this kind of business, and (in some cases) design their restaurant layout and service plan to accomodate it. When BASFA has found other venues that accomodate our peculiar needs (such as the Hick'ry Pit) we're happy to patronize them.

I also think it's a classic case of 'Why are you only looking for new meeting places in pizza joints?' 'Because the light's better.' ^_^ Certainly our site selection committee has worked hard to provide us with a diverse selection of venues to try, but I know that, when I go 'location scouting', I expect to find suitable venues at pizza places more often than most other categories of restaurants, so I tend to remember those venues more when the time comes to suggest alternatives.
