Pizza Delivery

Pizza delivery is a service in which a pizzeria or pizza chain delivers a pizza to a customer's location. This is typically done by delivery drivers using cars, but can also be accomplished via bicycle, motorcycle, or on foot in dense urban areas.

Pronunciation

/ˈpiːtsə dɪˈlɪvəri/

Etymology

The term "pizza delivery" is derived from the Italian word "pizza", which was first documented in 997 AD in Gaeta, Italy, and the English word "delivery", which comes from the Old French "delivrer".

Process

The process of pizza delivery begins when a customer places an order with a pizzeria. This can be done over the phone, online, or through a mobile app. The customer provides their address and payment information, and the pizzeria prepares the pizza according to the customer's specifications. Once the pizza is ready, it is handed off to a delivery driver, who transports it to the customer's location.
