That's a pretty expensive pizza! :)

Sounds like pizza delivery is much more of an industry in the US, in the UK (as Beeblebrox will know) it's more often a 'casual' job that the driver is expected to use his own vehicle for. And you see some real sheds :D

It might be helpful to the argument if I mentioned that there were two guys in the car delivering pizza to about 5 people in one run. And it was 2 AM.

I'm no delivery guy but it's simple; outruns a Ferrari in grid lock.. Most profit per pizza delivery after the gas money is accounted for.. I know I love 50ccs.

Round here, all food delivery is by motorbike. Typically 100-150cc... powerful enough to hit 100 km/h in a decent time and light and narrow enough to have no issues whatsoever with rush hour or gridlock. All of them have big warmer boxes on the back, and the riders have full rain duds, just in case. Nothing is faster than a motorbike.

The only places that need cars to deliver are the pizza places that offer 30" plus pies. And even those use Kei trucks.
 
Being near the core, I actually see more cyclist delivery guys than any cars. Now that we only have a nominal amount of snow on the ground (though still sub-freezing temperatures), they're out in full force already...

Cyclist pizza delivery? those must be some darn short routes..
 
Never got a picture of it but I knew this kid who drove a STI and worked as a delivery driver for Dominos. Car was later repo'd/

It was sad seeing it put through that, it was for the better.
 
I once had a pizza delivered by a guy in an Audi RS6. He seemed quite smartly dressed for a delivery man, so I suspect he could have been the owner of the shop filling in for someone who was ill.

I've also seen an Indian being delivered by a guy in a 'replica' M3 GTS. The big giveaway was the carbon fibre vinyl peeling on the roof!

Living in the countryside they have to deliver all over the county here....and my county isn't small. Takes me 45 minutes just to go 6-7 miles....

Really?

I cover that in 10 minutes with a car.
Why would you cycle with that much distance, by the time you get your pizza it will be cold.

That's why they use cars :lol:
 
Like everything else it's location. Downtown Toronto bicycle's are fine, upstate New York? Not so much!:lol:


A older guy here used a restored 1972 Mustang convertible for years. He would put the top down and stick the Dominos sign on the rear deck lid.

Last night I saw the most beaten Legacy wagon ever with a Dominos sign..

Definitely not :lol: Especially when most of it looks like this:

@Slash I didn't know you lived in Indiana! :sly:


The only thing wrong with the first picture is it is way too hilly.
 
It's so flat here that it is illegal to hunt with rifles. Not sure if it's like that anywhere else but it's a funny law nonetheless.

--

To try and contribute, all pizza delivery people here use their own cars. I've never seen a deliverer on a bike or moped. Most of them are older cars with 4 cylinders that you could buy for under $1,250.

I grew up in a rural part of Southern Ontario, same thing. You can only hunt with a .22 or shotguns there. Part of it is because of the British concession road system, roads are in a grid 750m-1km apart and a high powered rifle would travel that distance pretty easily.

They are indeed, and it's further helped by Toronto's main east/west streets all being painfully small, so bikes are almost always faster than cars at any time other than, say, four in the morning.
 
The one pizza place that's around where I live that delivers, the owner just takes his UTV. For those of you who don't know what one is, it's one of these:

Those things have gotten ridiculously fast and insanely well performing especially the sport ones.

Yeah, it's half a mile in a straight line to the pizza place from my house, so we don't get delivery too often, but when we do it takes a little over a minute.

That's awesome. It's usually about an hour from the time order to when we get it, sometimes longer.
 
I can't speak for all of Sweden, but I have never ever seen a pizza delivery car/moped/anything.



... which has to mean that here they drive invisible vans! :eek:

Hang on... can they even get it on the stone in a minute...? Then they must fire it from a cannon :D
