2. That, unfortunately, would involve leaving the house.
I'm on a mission today - not to set foot off the porch. :)

4. hmmmm.... maybe you could find some pizza-like ingredients
lying around.

And, why don't burger joints deliver? Or chicken joints? They should.

3. That's pathetic.
Don't you have any local shit pizzerias? You know, the ones that make pizzas vagrants will pass up? I'm sure you could order from one of them.

Oh, wait -- all the colleges are on the East side. Never mind. :P

5. That is just an estimation, to keep from having to give out free pizzas
for those arriving late. Try placing your order to be delivered at an exact time. Then if it's not delivered at that time, you can call the manager, and get a discount. Be sure to sound irate, when you call to complain.

6. Nobody does time guarantees anymore.
Ever since a rash of Domino's schleppers killed people in traffic back in the early '90s, hardly any delivery places give freebies for late delivery anymore.

Which is good, of course.

8. I deliver pizzas in Lincoln Nebraska, and we give discounts for late pizza
and if it's very late, the pizza is free. I'm sure that you can ask for a pizza to be delivered at a specific time, if you call far enough in advance. Next Oscar Night, or Super Bowl, call in your order early in the day.

9. Wow, that's cool.
Eons ago I used to deliver in Cleveland, and once all that Domino's stuff went down, time guarantees were all over with. I had assumed that was everywhere.

12. It's finally arrived. Wrong toppings.
:mad:

I'm eating it anyway, of course - I'll call to gripe *after* I've attended to my blood sugar.

13. Ask for a manager. Have them send you a coupon for a free pizza.
If they're busy enough they'll be glad to send you one to get rid of you.
