1. Decide what you want to order BEFORE you call them. At least get a general idea of what everyone likes, if you're not entirely sure how much you want to spend or what the specials are.
2. Never pay full menu price, unless you are ordering a lot of pizza. Most places will offer discounts (close to half off) for each additional pizza you order of the same size. There are always coupons and specials...use them. If you don't have any, print some off the internet, or even make a reasonable one up (90% of the time they don't ask for it, and if they do, say you simply misplaced it and they won't care). But never pay full menu price...
3. Keep your front porch light on at night. Make sure your house is visible. This will decrease delivery time, as the driver won't be getting out of his car to look around the block to see where the hell he is.
4. Have the money ready. It always amazes me when people are given 30-45 minutes to write a check, and they wait until the driver shows up at the door to start looking for their checkbook.
5. This one will start some flame wars, but you should always tip, unless the driver ruined your property, was mean, was ridiculously late, etc. $2-3 dollars is considered the norm (although it's very common for them to get $5 or more), but even a dollar will show them that you are grateful. If you don't tip, you will be known in the kitchen as one of those guys who don't tip. "Oh great, I don't wanna take this" is what the drivers will say when they see the ticket.
6. If something is wrong with the order, call them up. The vast majority of the time (even if they think you're lying), they will give you a free pizza, or something of that nature.
7. When you are done, get the pizza into the fridge as fast as possible. It will give it better texture when you eat it for breakfast the next morning.
8. Always take antacid tablets after eating. I swear nothing gives heartburn like pizza...and you don't want to be discouraged from eating this delicious meal, do you? Of course not.
If you follow these steps, the ordering and consuming process will increase. You will be happier, and you will never forget BlancoNino's wonderful advice. I shall forever warm your hearts with pizza wisdom. Take care, and happy ordering.
