Show HN: Order pizza with random toppings

This reminds me of None Pizza with Left Beef, which just celebrated its tenth anniversary:<p>* original: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thesneeze.com&#x2F;2007&#x2F;the-great-pizza-orientation-test.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thesneeze.com&#x2F;2007&#x2F;the-great-pizza-orientation-te...</a><p>* anniversary stories: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;reflections-on-the-10th-anniversary-of-none-pizza-with-1819692097" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;reflections-on-the-10th-anniversary-of-n...</a> and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.buzzfeed.com&#x2F;andyneuenschwander&#x2F;hbd-none-pizza-with-left-beef" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.buzzfeed.com&#x2F;andyneuenschwander&#x2F;hbd-none-pizza-w...</a>

25 pizzas, with random ingredients, and delivery on New Years Eve to a major city:<p>&quot;Time To Your Door: 44-74 minutes&quot;<p>I doubt it. I can&#x27;t afford to try it, but I doubt it. Will it take my $770 and deliver me 25 pizzas in less than 1 hour and 15 minutes on NYE? I would be absolutely shocked.<p>I recommend adding a disclaimer, or a time &quot;estimate&quot; phrase, or something. Do the estimates come from Dominos? Are they real? Shockingly wicked fast estimates if you ask me.

Sent this to my friend in the next room, he yelled back his exact thoughts. He wants to say that &quot;you&#x27;re a monster and why is this a thing&quot;<p>I for one welcome adding an element of chaos into food ordering

It&#x27;d probably be valuable to add settings that consider allergies. Vegetarian and gluten free too. Looks interesting, though!

I like this, but that&#x27;s probably because I buy 5 pizzas or so fairly frequently and hate choosing the toppings.<p>That said, I&#x27;d prefer roulette on their medium pizzas that seem to be on sale perpetually. That with a modest upcharge and I might use it.

&gt; All orders are fulfilled through Dominos.<p>With Dominos pizza, I already <i>have</i> the feeling my toppings are random. That is, sometimes I get a lot of topping, and most of the time but not always I get very little topping.

Concept (but not implementation) reminds me a little of the old-school Pizza Party terminal app from the &#x27;90s: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;J691aLfkWP0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;J691aLfkWP0</a>

$34.61 estimated for my random pizza. That&#x27;s a hell of an expensive pizza.

Feature request: randomize the delivery timing as well! I&#x27;d like a random pizza to show up at some point in 2018, ideally once I&#x27;ve forgotten this service exists.<p>Random address may or may not be going too far.<p>How about I enter how much money I&#x27;m willing to spend, and the website comes up with an order that fits the constraint? Completely random grubhub orders would be fun, too.

AI is truly taking over.<p>Over-engineering solution: Feedback the reviews from customers to a ML algorithm that have for inputs the actual pizza, time, and photos of food from the customer Instagram to truly make the best pizza each time.

Clever scrolling taglines. Seems like your target audience would be a party crowd, and you might want to play that up a bit.

This is awesome, I’m a little too chicken to put my money down though. It’d be fun just to see the random options or maybe other people’s previous randomness.

Random between 0 and 4 toppings? 0 toppings is a pretty boring pizza...

There&#x27;s a funny novelty to this that you can&#x27;t deny and the user experience does make it super fast to get a pizza. I&#x27;m not sure I see myself using it outside of an office joke but why not make a little profit from those who want to do this?

As a owner of a dice I don&#x27;t see a great need for this even if it was available at my location. The dice solution also has a lot more features such as covering allergies, absolutely-not-toppings or just adding drinks.<p>I guess if saving the surprise until you actually open the box is important you could either have a friend roll for you or give your local pizza place a dice (or url) and promise a tip if they roll for you. Who knows, maybe they would even like the idea of adding that to their menu.<p>If you want to complicate things a bit it should not be very difficult to just make a user script that makes a random order for you on your favorite pizza site.

UI enhancement suggestion: &quot;May the odds be ever in your flavor.&quot;

Interesting idea. The website reminds me strongly of Grubhub from its coloring to the typing-taglines. Did this idea begin as a parody of GrubHub?<p>Not a criticism—-actually curious.

I priced a random 3 topping large pizza on Dominos website: $17.92 which includes delivery fee but no tip.<p>Roulette: $23.70 including tip.

This is a nice novelty idea, but there is no way I&#x27;m entering in my info just to see what kinds of results pop up. Now, if you showed some random results, and THEN had an ordering process where we entered our info, you might get some actual use.

Dominos is available in dozens of countries around the world, since 2017, about half their shops are outside the US, and they even offer fully robotized deliveries in parts of Germany and the Netherlands[1].<p>And yet, roulette.pizza is US-only. I mean, you had to specifically go and restrict the location, compared to what the site you’re getting the pizzas from offers.<p>Why?<p><pre><code> ________________________ </code></pre> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;venturebeat.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;31&#x2F;soon-your-pizza-will-be-ordered-made-and-delivered-through-robots&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;venturebeat.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;31&#x2F;soon-your-pizza-will-be-o...</a>

Care to share your &#x27;stack&#x27;?<p>front-end&#x2F;back-end&#x2F;API&#x27;s?

Tried to order and got an error.<p>“Whoops - something didn&#x27;t go right with the order, but you weren&#x27;t charged.”<p>Please email me. I want to try this. Email is in my bio.

I got one with extra anchovies. Husband not happy.

Nooooo! It could be pineapple!!! :)

A whole thread on automated pizza with no Snow Crash jokes? I&#x27;m disappointed.

It should include a &#x27;no anchovies&#x27; option

Needs the delivery guy shouting &quot;Di Di Mau!&quot; at you once he gives you the pen to sign your receipt.

Given the state of the world, hopefully we technologists will consider using our prodigious collective talents in meaningful ways in 2018.
