I mean, almost all pizza delivery was cash on delivery until fairly recently, which is food delivery without prepayment. The driver would tell you how much you owed, and you hand them the cash plus a tip. Yes, sometimes pizza places would have issues with people prank ordering a bunch of pizzas to someone else’s house, but pizza shops had ways to try to mitigate that risk.
If you are really too young to remember this, you can watch “Home Alone” to see some examples of how this worked.
- perl4ever 5y agoThanks, but I wasn't asking about history. You can't roll the clock back. I'm old enough to remember when you could pump gas before paying, and there was actually at least one place that had full service in town (I've never lived in NJ or OR).
- cortesoft 5y agoUmm, you can still order from most pizza places and pay on delivery. You just call them up on the phone.
- throwaway_2009 5y agoRight, the fancy delivery apps aren't even ten years old yet. You couldn't even pay by card at all until ~2010 in the UK, I'm sure the odd weird pizza shop might have allowed you to read out details over the phone...?
