Just reminds me that in Helsinki University of Technology (hut.fi) we of course had to have a host called "pizza": pizza.hut.fi

(Nowadays HUT is renamed Aalto University).

At some point in the last ten years they added Google Analytics tracking to the page.

Last modified Mon, 30 Dec 2013 if you use http://web-sniffer.net/ to look at the HTTP response header. Looks like they not just still serving it, but have updated it at some point in time also.

DOM is your friend :)

Wow, webmaster@... You don't see that email address often/ever anymore?

You don't see many of the RFC2142 addresses at all.

Why does it have the fake browser chrome at the top? did it have that back in the day as well?

Probably not. See the wayback links from 1996 that others have posted.

Does anyone know how the delivery system worked? I assume that there were people who received an email once the form was figured out and passed your info to the local pizza hut

Yeah, this seems more faithful to the original. For one, it has a submit button that actually submits the form. In wbm's version, clicking the hat also actually brings up a contact form as the text says it should.

I love how they aligned input elements by using monospace and matching number of characters. A paradigm predating even tables!
