This is pretty neat not gonna lie. I wonder now if something similar can be done with Deliveroo or similar - on day X if certain conditions are met (eg: working late), have preprogrammed order Y submitted when approximately Z distance from house.

Wire it up to a fitness tracker and only have enough pizza delivered to keep you at a calorie deficit so that you lose weight.

I have fond memories of growing up with Casey's pizza. I pick it up any time I am back in the Midwest. I can't place it, but it has its own distinct charm.

Extra grease? The breakfast pizza is the best err, usually after a night of drinking busch lights.

i cannot tell you how much i enjoyed this article. it was very funny. it had so many great elements. a fun tech problem, pizza, getting me to look up what “s-tier” meant, a dash of humor (as if the premise wasn’t already hilarious), the mea culpa at the end and the ideas as to what the bug was (his theory sounds plausible to me, but idk).

Yes, it’s seems like food ordering services should have good APIs for this—why not make it easy for people to integrate food ordering (and paying!) into IFTTT-style hacks?!
