Who on earth has ever ordered just a "large pizza for pickup"? Without specifying ingredients, type of crust, anything. This is like ordering a chair by phone from a furniture store by dialing the number, saying "Armchair for pickup" and heading on over to the store. Why reserve books online from the library? Just call them and say "10 books for pickup" and then hang up.
Large, semi-national pizza chain says "text your order and receive 20% off", so I skeptically text my order and promptly receive a reply with a link to continue to their website for confirmation and payment. Pointless.
I'm sorry but I don't agree. Dominos pizza has coupons, deals, etc. Trying to get those deals over the phone is a chore. Ordering specific toppings can be a chore since it's a relay back and forth vs a button. Multiple pizzas with multiple toppings? The delay just compounds. If you live alone and order one pizza or one style of specific themed pizzas then sure, it might be faster, if that's the metric of "best" but i…
The coupons are the biggest advantage to placing orders online. If you place your order over the phone, they aren't going to offer any promos - they'll gladly charge you $16 for a medium 1 topping. Gotta get the coupon to get the 5.99 special.
Probably a midwestern thing.
It was a chore.

But then you would have to eat... Dominos. I get that its not the same everywhere, but in the pizza belt, I couldn't imagine going there. Luckily my local place has a good website though.
Most of the comments here are focused on the question of why you would prefer an app to calling. The author's point is a great one though, and something I've wondered a lot. Why should I create an account to order a pizza? The app should reduce friction even from the very first order. Instead it adds, and adds for every order... Got to go look up coupon codes! On the phone I just ask the guy what their best deal is i…
> Instead it adds, and adds for every order... Got to go look up coupon codes! I just stay logged in and several apps I have let me just browse and click on coupons.

Local pizza place - most times I have no choice but phone and it's all good. Usually local pizza place is better tasting but more expensive. You know you're gonna pay more.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Delivery works so well in my area that i just make some taps on my phone and food arrives at my door with no human contact. Incomparable experience compared to talking on the phone and then going out and picking it up.
