I priced a random 3 topping large pizza on Dominos website: $17.92 which includes delivery fee but no tip. Roulette: $23.70 including tip.

#62> All orders are fulfilled through Dominos.
With Dominos pizza, I already have the feeling my toppings are random. That is, sometimes I get a lot of topping, and most of the time but not always I get very little topping.

#63Tried to order and got an error.
“Whoops - something didn't go right with the order, but you weren't charged.”
Please email me. I want to try this. Email is in my bio.

#64$34.61 estimated for my random pizza. That's a hell of an expensive pizza.
I don't know where it gets ordered from, but a place in my town has pizzas that are about $30-$40 and they're worth it. For one, they're just amazing pizza, made by an amazing local entrepreneur, with a cool little pizza shop. For two, it's a meal out for 3 or 4 (they don't actually deliver), which isn't a bad price to eat out. If it's Dominos, then I feel your pain.
I don’t probably know WTF is a PIZZA (even a large one), that is worth it, at over $/€ 15-20... seems like we need a new big mac index! Is a $30+ pizza reality?
Edit: it’s probably just the common salary & cost level difference here at the play, if in some places even a junior can make over 100k / year..

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
Now if you are allergic to certain thing? There should be an option to opt out.
There is. It's called not ordering. No one is forcing you to use Random Pizza.

#6625 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…
While I agree with you that Dominos is terrible at estimating delivery times, it's because the pizzas always arrive in about half the time estimated. This has been my experience in Wichita, Las Vegas, and about half the time in the Seattle suburbs.

#67Given the state of the world, hopefully we technologists will consider using our prodigious collective talents in meaningful ways in 2018.

> 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?
You understand the difference between something that's not very nice and something which someone cannot possibly eat at all, right? As a vegetarian, I can imagine some pretty gross combinations of pizza that I still can eat, but I'm at a massive disadvantage if I get something I cannot eat at all.
Your use of "vegetarian" and "cannot eat" is incongruous.
It would be more correct to say "choose not to eat." Being a vegetarian isn't like being afflicted by a disease. It's a lifestyle choice.

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...
Realistically, not honoring this request would just make those with allergies not participate. That’s a loss of revenue. If OP doesn’t want it, fine, but opportunities are being missed.
OP doesn't get any revenue from it. He's not Dominos Pizza.

#70Care to share your 'stack'? front-end/back-end/API's?
I am going to guess they are using: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-dominos-pizza-api to order. :)
