Pizza Hut Lets You Order Pies on Facebook
by Tim Stevens, posted Oct 17th 2008 at 9:37AM
Yes, Pizza Hut, now part of the dizzying and overwhelming array of Facebook app plug-ins, can now be integrated with your wall and other profile accoutrement. Through the app, you can browse menus and place your order, all without missing a friend update. It all sounds somewhat silly, but remember, online pizza sales are a multi-billion dollar industry, and that's a pie that Pizza Hut wants a big, big slice of. [From: BetaNews]
Vending Machine Sells Hot, Deep Dish Pizza
It's not the most expensive vending machine we've ever seen, but it's certainly one of the most intriguing. Just insert a few bucks, pick your toppings via the buttons on the right, and in just a few minutes out pops your perfectly fresh (formerly frozen) pizza covered in hot (processed) cheese, certain to burn the roof of your mouth. Add a can of Red Bull (conveniently dispensed right next door) and you're ready to get moving again on to your next appointment -- or back to your basement to continue the marathon 'World of Warcraft' raid.

Papa John's Sells $1 Billion in Pizza Online
by Tim Stevens, posted May 8th 2008 at 1:45PM
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 Internet savvy users, and while the company made only $20 million in online sales its first year, it nearly topped $400 million last year.
These days, all the major pizza chains offer online ordering, with Pizza Hut enabling orders via text message and Domino's Pizza Tracker letting impatient types know where their pizzas are on the assembly line.
Now if only they could find a way to deliver pies over the Internet we'd be truly set. [Source: CNN]

Domino's Pizza Tracker Monitors Your Pie's Progress
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 in 30 minutes, it's easy to wonder about the fate of your alleged pizza order. Not with Domino's, at least not any more, thanks to its new Pizza Tracker.
The Pizza Tracker is like one of those agonizing bars you get when you're downloading or installing software to your computer, except this time when the bar fills up, you have a hot and cheesy pizza in a box instead of some lame computer app on your desktop. As it progresses through preparation, baking, boxing, and delivery, the bar fills up, so you always know exactly where your pie is -- though that last "delivery" phase of the bar is a bit long and vague. We'd like to see some real-time GPS look-ups for Pizza Tracker 2.0.

Laser Pizza Cutter, Complete with Video
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.
