I remember those times.
It was about nine hours ago—if you tried to get a pizza delivered they’d tell you to come 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
I served in the pizza delivery service for nearly ten years 🎖️
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.
And I’M STILL WAITING!!! I ordered this pizza in 1997! How long does it TAKE???
🍕
Nothing personal, but ain’t nobody got time for Delta Quadrant Pizza delivery. That’s coming out of your tip, Kathryn.
I see the Trek reference, but I feel like I’m still missing something…

This is more of a America problem than a pizza guy problem.
Everyday i consider being a cop, good overtime pay, life isn’t at risk, do whatever you want swap precincts if there are issues no biggie, its a legal mob that protects their own, no real risk, they just stand around let shootings happen
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
snow crash mentioned
You read my mind.
Those skates!
This is America.
This is the internet.

Pretty certain that stat is from America. Also, pretty certain my post was the opening to one of the most famous cyberpunk novels of all time.
Well now I want a pizza delivered on horseback.
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.
Those were dark times. My favorite in undergrad was to order a 14 inch hot sauce pizza from a local shop (of course delivery). I may be trash for how much I enjoyed this pizza but idc. Wont matter on my death bed
It was in fact Digiornoed.
Downvoted because digiorno is owned by nestle…and nestle is evil.
I live super rural. It still isn’t.
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.
That time was last night. The location? Costco. $10 for a pie is the best deal going right now.
And it’s a good size. And not terrible.
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.
