Take-out or pick-up?

Hi,

I grew up ordering "take-out" food (in North Dakota and Minnesota) but since moving to Milwaukee, Wisconsin I have noticed most customers (and restaurants) themselves refer to food to go as ordering for "pick-up." I was curious to know if this is a regional distinction?

Thanks,

Joe

In Scotland, it is 'take-away'.

And in Arizona, it's "carry-out".

California, we say "to-go"...or at least I do.

In discussion: "What's for dinner?" "Let's get take-out."

Ordering: "Pepperoni pizza, to go."

Small corner of Alaska.
