AI is truly taking over. Over-engineering solution: Feedback the reviews from customers to a ML algorithm that have for inputs the actual pizza, time, and photos of food from the customer Instagram to truly make the best pizza each time.
And yet, roulette.pizza is US-only. I mean, you had to specifically go and restrict the location, compared to what the site you’re getting the pizzas from offers.
Why?

This is a nice novelty idea, but there is no way I'm entering in my info just to see what kinds of results pop up. Now, if you showed some random results, and THEN had an ordering process where we entered our info, you might get some actual use.
You can enter fake info. Seems like you don't get to know what kind of results pop up until the pizza is physically at your door
25 pizzas, with random ingredients, and delivery on New Years Eve to a major city: "Time To Your Door: 44-74 minutes" I doubt it. I can't afford to try it, but I doubt it. Will it take my $770 and deliver me 25 pizzas in less than 1 hour and 15 minutes on NYE? I would be absolutely shocked. I recommend adding a disclaimer, or a time "estimate" phrase, or something. Do the estimates come from Dominos? Are they real? S…
For far more reasons than I care to go into, the Dominos PULSE system[1] sucks at making delivery time estimates. The CSMs in store don’t use it, but can’t control what online orders see. As a former manager, blowing through unrealistic delivery estimates for online orders were over half of the complaints I had to deal with. [1] PULSE is the in-house Point of Sale system Dominos created. Except it’s not just a POS, i…

Coming to terms with missing out is part of abstinence. If you're going to entitle yourself to the accommodation of others every step of the way, then maybe you aren't cut out for it.
I've managed ok for 20 years, thanks. I'm asking for one checkbox, just one, it's hardly asking others to bend over backwards.

Aye hardly seems good spirited when not taking either of those into account would result in unpalatable food a high percentage of time.
> would result in unpalatable food a high percentage of time That's the point. Do you understand what 'roulette' means in this context? When you play roulette you more often than not lose all your money and have nothing to show for it. Like an inedible pizza. If you made it so you always got something nice to eat... it wouldn't be roulette, would it?
Typically with roulette there is a substantial upside to winning as well (large payout at casino for example). What is great thing you get by winning pizza roulette? A pizza that you could simply have ordered at no risk?

Ahem, surely you don't honestly believe your request will be fulfilled with just "one checkbox, just one". It's not the matter of adding to the front-end...
Dominos is available in dozens of countries around the world, since 2017, about half their shops are outside the US, and they even offer fully robotized deliveries in parts of Germany and the Netherlands[1]. And yet, roulette.pizza is US-only. I mean, you had to specifically go and restrict the location, compared to what the site you’re getting the pizzas from offers.

Same thing with Starbucks. Our Starbuckses are actually part of the Autogrill group and only share the products and branding with the "real" US Starbucks, none of the extra stuff/amenities carried over. (Starbucks in Belgium doesn't even have a website, let alone an app, for example.)
