Re: Show HN: Order pizza with random toppings
#82> 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.
I think all the major chains have a policy in place where you get the exact same amount of toppings by weight no matter what you order. If you only order pepperoni you get a ton of pepperoni, but if you order supreme you get less of everything but it ends up being the same overall by weight.

This is highly recommended to me by excellent pizza makers. You don't want to overtop the pizza, it'll get soggy or greasy if you add too much

#84Dominos 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. Why? ________________________ [1] https://venture…
Dominos doesn't use the same web platform everywhere. Dominos Belgium for example shares a platform used by some other countries (FR, DE, NL, AU and more) which is completely different from the US one. And there are a few more codebases out there. 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…
That sucks, honestly. So they managed to get consistent branding, but couldn't even offer a consistent API?

#85Concept (but not implementation) reminds me a little of the old-school Pizza Party terminal app from the '90s: https://youtu.be/J691aLfkWP0

#89Care to share your 'stack'? front-end/back-end/API's?
Sure! On the front end it's HTML, CSS, and jQuery - no hip JS frameworks nor complex build pipelines. Backend is node and express. The dominos API is https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-dominos-pizza-api, as mentioned below. Everything is hosted in AWS on Elastic Beanstalk on a few t2.micro instances.

#90Interesting idea. The website reminds me strongly of Grubhub from its coloring to the typing-taglines. Did this idea begin as a parody of GrubHub? Not a criticism—-actually curious.
I see what you mean, but no actually. I really just Googled "what color makes people hungry" and picked a red I liked!
