That's because you're calling raw_input() four times, thus the user must
type in a number four times.

You probably want something like this:

    user_choice = raw_input()
    user_choice = int(user_choice)

    if user_choice == 1:
        print "You have selected", user_choice, ".pizza"
        ....
        ....
    elif user_choice == 2:
        print "You have selected", st, ".Steak"
        ....
        ....
