It should include a 'no anchovies' option
Anchovies are actually the only topping I don't include intentionally!

#92A whole thread on automated pizza with no Snow Crash jokes? I'm disappointed.

#93It'd probably be valuable to add settings that consider allergies. Vegetarian and gluten free too. Looks interesting, though!
Like these audiences would appreciate uncertainty in their food ordering. That must be a very small overlap in the Venn diagram

#95Feature request: randomize the delivery timing as well!
I'd like a random pizza to show up at some point in 2018, ideally once I've forgotten this service exists.
Random address may or may not be going too far.
How about I enter how much money I'm willing to spend, and the website comes up with an order that fits the constraint? Completely random grubhub orders would be fun, too.

Your definition of success is just an excuse for bad software, with the reasoning being "cause RL roulette works like this as well". Reminds me of car analogies. What you desire is a very basic, boring version of roulette which you can easily make with a few lines of Python code. random.randrange(0, 4) # number of toppings random.randrange(1, 100) # this in a loop iterating with result of previous amount, and this fr…
> this is not done in 2017 If you can choose not to eat certain things, the rest of the world can choose not to be bound by your artificial social constructs. / "Not done in 2017"... SMH.
My link proves that vegetarianism is a significant group which you can cater to. The system I proposed does not force you to be bound by my artificial social constructs (with which you assume I am a vegetarian which you are wrong about, btw). The system I proposed takes into account the option of vegetarianism, and allows a vegetarian to also partake in the overall system without damaging your fun in any way except the mention of a diet you apparently do not agree with.
At the very least, a bunch of disclaimers that the outcome might not be according to certain diets (ie. "the random outcome is unlikely to be kosher, halal, vegetarian, etc").

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.
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...
Go visit a restaurant in Germany. They have all kind of numbers after their ingredients which show exactly which dishes contain which allergens, as well as showing which options follow popular diets (vegetarianism being the most common one, but also gluten-free, vegan, and multiple others). Why can an online website not do this when a German restaurant with a physical card is able to do this? Its not much work. You just add some more tables in a database with yes/no on certain allergens, ingredients, or dietary propositions. No rocket science, not a whole lot of work. And IIRC San Francisco is quite open minded to alternative diets.

I wonder of those involve Dominos "deliverator" van. http://www.dominosdxp.com/
I saw Dominos pizza tech guy interviewed a while back about their delivery bags. He spoke of one day of not just keeping the pizza warm, but having it having cook while being delivered. Custom vehicles could make that happen and I'm sure somewhere in that organization someone is trying to mount a pizza oven in a 92 chevy.
that's called a pizza van/truck and there are already plenty of those in any major metro area

Add a browser plugin that detects when you are hungry based on how quickly you switch tab to something meaningless and just feedscrooll. Popup which asks, are you hungry, want me to order you a pizza on XX?

Re: Show HN: Order pizza with random toppings
#100Random between 0 and 4 toppings? 0 toppings is a pretty boring pizza...
I'm a big fan of cheese only pizza.
