IIRC, proper pizza delivery requires a special warming bag. These generic delivery companies that employ gig-working randos don't equip their drivers with those bags, so they suck at delivering pizza at any distance, greater "efficiency" or no.
- cgriswald 6y agoThese are or were available. I’ve seen several branded bags both as a diner watching the order come in and as a customer ordering food. Whether they are given away, given upon request, or available for purchase, I have no idea. And I haven’t seen one in awhile, but I’ve also greatly reduced ordering this way and exclusively use Uber when I do.
- waterfowl 6y agoI see doordash/grubhub/ubereats folks with big insulated bags(or backpacks in the case of bike/moto folks) pretty regularly. Not sure if they are required(or provided or sold) but they are definitely available.

Not sure if they are required(or provided or sold) but they are definitely available. They're available, but I don't think they're universally used. I read one article where the a pizzeria was offering bags for the drivers to borrow (because of bad reviews for cold delivery pizza), but a lot of them refused because they'd have to leave a deposit and didn't want to return to the store to return the bag.
