I live super rural. It still isn’t.
I have to imagine that even back when pizza was probably first invented, food delivery was a common thing. You just would have to order it in person, in advance if you didn’t have a bird or know how to write.
Toss a coin at the corner street urchin to fetch it for you
That time was last night. The location? Costco. $10 for a pie is the best deal going right now.
I can still remember that time.
It was about nine hours ago—if you tried to get a pizza delivered they’d tell you to call back at 10 am when they were open.
The dark ages.
Pizza delivery is notoriously dangerous. More pizza delivery drivers get shot than cops. It took a long time for people to build up the courage and sense of responsibility for pizza before they braved those streets.
I honor our pizza delivery drivers. o7
This is America. People do whatever the f*** they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can f***ing stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it–we’re talking trade balances here–once we’ve brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they’re making cars in Bolivia and microwaves in Tadzhikistan and selling them here–once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel–once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani bricklayer would consider to be prosperity–y’know what? There’s only four things we do better than anyone else:
music
movies
microcode (software)
high-speed pizza delivery
I served in the pizza delivery service for nearly ten years 🎖️
Thank you for your service, culinary logistics veteran.
I was a part of delivery team six. We lost a lot of good men on that delivery run. 22 pineapple pizzas changes a man.

Ain’t nobody got time for Delta Quadrant Pizza delivery. That’s coming out of your tip, Kathryn.
Papa John’s, West Virginia 55th company. Still get flashbacks when I hear someone say “garlic sauce”. Can’t believe I made it out alive

This is more of a America problem than a pizza guy problem.
It was in fact Digiornoed.
Downvoted because digiorno is owned by nestle…and nestle is evil.
It’s not delivery, it’s de… struction of human life and exploitation of natural resources.
You know, when I was a kid in the 80’s we were slightly rural, nothing was ever delivered except mail, or if you ordered something freight or building supplies.
You could get takeout in my area, but afaik, noone was delivering anything
I had seen the commercials for Domino’s 30 minute delivery, But they just simply weren’t in my area and it didn’t seem like there was anybody else doing that work.
Kinda the same here, except my house had delivery. Our cottage which was 30 minutes from the house, had no delivery u told mid 00s even though pizza place out there was only 15 minute drive. Was weird to my child brain
we always had to go pick up the pizza! pizza!, unless we were goin’ to super-k, which had little caesars inside with a dining area.
Wait. What was that pizza place called? With a Greek guy who said pizza pizza. And it was 2 pizzas. And the pizzas were impaled on a spear. And it was pretty good pizza.
Little Caesar’s. Good pizza, great bread sticks. The founder was a pretty good dude too (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Ilitch)
Jesus. I had no idea. He was a superhero.
