Let's collect all the internet's historical pizza moments. I've collected a few from the comments here and added a few. - 1990, Don Hopkins uses the PizzaTool to fax a pizza order. - 1992, Snow Crash is published. Readers imagine interconnected virtual worlds and action packed pizza delivery. Often quoted book in regards to internet, MMORPGs and pizza. - 1994, Pizza Hut's Pizza Net allows users in Santa Cruz to order pizza. - May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz buys two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins (valued at around 30 USD at the time).

  I wonder if Pizza Hut still owns those 10k BTC they bought for the price of two pizzas?

    IIRC, the transaction was between two people; Pizza Hut didn't touch any Bitcoin.
  - the137 7y ago
    If I remember correctly he traded the BTC to another user who then put the pizzas on his credit card

2004, a perl script pizza_party is published allowing to buy pizza from the command line. I think it was even in some distros' package managers for a while.
