Remember the days when ordering a pizza meant picking up the phone, waiting on hold, and shouting your order over the sound of a busy restaurant? Those days are long gone, thanks to the revolution in online pizza ordering that has transformed the way Canadians enjoy their favorite food.

The Early Days: Phone Orders and Paper Menus

For decades, pizza delivery relied on phone calls and paper menus. Customers would call in their orders, often facing busy signals or miscommunications. Restaurants had to maintain staff dedicated to answering phones, and customers had no way to track their orders once placed.

The limitations of this system were obvious:

The Digital Revolution Begins

The first wave of digital ordering came in the early 2000s with basic websites that allowed customers to place orders online. While revolutionary at the time, these early systems were often clunky and not optimized for mobile devices. Still, they offered significant advantages over phone ordering:

More time to consider options without pressure
