You know what it’s like. You phone up your local pizza place, make some astoundingly complex order taking off mushrooms and adding chillies, changing bases and having one topping on one half and another on the other. You sit there, waiting, watching TV, anticipating your delicious pizza concoction. When it finally comes, they’ve got your order wrong. This doesn’t happen if you order your pizza online.

Ordering your pizza online is a relatively new convenience. Very few pizza places do it themselves (although some of the bigger ones do) but there are lots of online takeaway aggregators that do it on behalf of the pizza places. Most of them are local so do a search in Google for something like ‘Brighton online takeaway’ and something will crop up.

Many of these companies service many restaurants in the area and will go around and pick up the different parts of your order for a small fee. The best thing about it is that they will never get your order wrong. There is no opportunity for misunderstandings or mishearing.

The method is similar for all sites that allow you to order a pizza online. Usually there will be a set menu to choose from. Just make your selection, add it to your basket and checkout, just like in any other online shop. Having put in your card details they will then send you a confirmation email and some will even give you an estimate of the approximate time of delivery.

Most will also allow customisation. Choose your pizza off the set menu and click ‘customise’ (or similar) which will usually open a new window or tab showing all of the toppings on that pizza with tick boxes next to them. Anything you don’t want, untick it. Anything you want to add, tick it. Anything you want double of – tick the double box. Be careful though as extra toppings always cost more, usually about a £1 per topping.

So there you have it. Next time you’re craving pizza and you don’t want to pick up the phone, or fear the inevitable crossed wires over your order, order your pizza online.
