According to CNET UK, British restaurant chain Pizza Express will soon install iPod docks at booths, and hang soundproof domes above seats, so that patrons can listen to music while they eat. Customers will sit in a parabolic booth with an iPod or iPhone dock situated beneath the descending dome. The hemisphere traps sounds emitted from the dock, so that other diners aren't disturbed by the jams. ...

For some reason, people will risk total embarrassment and unemployment to watch porn at work. Of all the places we'd rather not think about people thinking sexy thoughts, a factory that makes pizzas has to be near the top. According to the Leinster Leader, three employees at the Green Isle Foods plant in Naas, Ireland were fired at the end of September for "improper use of the company's IT ...

We're not sure what it is about pizza chains that have put them at the forefront of food ordering technology, but Domino's, The Hut, and Papa John's are in a constant arms race for electronic pizza ordering superiority. Domino's has its online Pizza Tracker, and a partnership with TiVo, while the newly christened The Hut lets you place orders via text message, Facebook, and an iPhone App. Papa ...

The omnipresent pizza franchise Domino's accidentally gave away 11,000 free pizzas this week as a result of a supposed computer error involving a proposed marketing plan. Fortunately for the 11,000 lucky recipients (and unfortunately for Domino's), the erroneous deal, which had been intended to honor the economic bailout plan, was honored (for a short time, anyway). Created internally within ...

With the hectic lifestyles we lead, we must often choose between eating a fresh meal or stale food from our local drive thru. But, we soon may be able to get a dish made from scratch almost immediately without cooking or leaving the workplace, thanks to a genius invention: pizza vending machines. The "Let's Pizza" vending machine prepares fresh dough, shapes it, puts sauce and toppings on it, ...

As with the tried and true toaster, the traditional pizza cutter has gone far, far too long without a redesign. Don't get us wrong -- the standard cutter seems to slice through Digiorno pies just fine, but it really doesn't add too much fun to the whole process. That's where Fred & Friends comes in. The unimaginatively named (and currently unpriced) Pizza Pro beautifully weds a circular saw ...

Clearly catering towards the wants, nay, needs of the average American couch potato is TiVo and Domino's Pizza, which have collaborated in order to bring on-sofa pizza ordering to broadband-connected TiVo subscribers. If you'll recall, this service was actually announced for Australia earlier this month, but users in the US of A get the first chance to indulge. 'Course, this is far from the ...

Okay, so you can order a pie via text message and track it online, but what if you're so busy playing a game of 'Scrabulous' 'Wordscraper' that you can't even click away from Facebook? You're in luck, as Pizza Hut has given you the power to order directly from within your profile. Yes, Pizza Hut, now part of the dizzying and overwhelming array of Facebook app plug-ins, can now be integrated with ...

With a celly in your pocket and laptop in your pack, it's easy to spend an entire work-day day on the road without sitting an office (or indeed any other place) for more than a few minutes at a time. Things get a little tricky when the tummy starts a rumbling, though. Sure, you could throw a handful of protein bars into your bag and munch on those on the road, but even a modern road warrior ...

In its advertising, pizza mega-chain Papa John's claims better ingredients make better pizza. Now the company is also saying that easier ordering makes for better revenues. Papa John's reported total online sales of over $1 billion since it started accepting Internet orders back in 2001. Enabling customers to go online and click their way to a pizza has made the franchise a favorite among many ...

If you're the type who hates to pick up the phone, no problem: Many restaurants have already made your life easier by offering online orders. Pizza, in particular, is usually just a few clicks of a mouse (or even a text message) away these days, but once you do click, you're always left with that bit of doubt: Did my order really get placed? With no friendly voice to assure you it'll be there ...

Just cause you don't want to bother to call up the local national pizza chain doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to get it delivered to your doorstep. Or at least we don't think so, and it seems the big three pizza chains agree. Pizza Hut is the latest to offer mobile and web text messaging, while Domino's began offering ordering via a mobile website in September (to some locations). Pizza Hut, ...

Who likes lasers? We do! We do! We like lasers so much we're bringing you this video of a freakin' laser pizza cutter. There isn't much to say, it's a laser, it cuts the pizza into 8 delicious slices. Although it does look like the guy at the end of the video is having a little trouble getting a slice out.
