If you're making a large pizza order, it's a good idea to write everything down before you make the call. This will make everything much simpler for you and the order-taker to understand, and you limit the possibility of mistakes. You'll also keep their phone tied up for a shorter time.

In most cases, takeout pizza is somewhat cheaper if you pick it up yourself instead of waiting for delivery. Not only that, you'll get the pizza much quicker (often in as little as fifteen minutes or so), and you don't have to tip anyone unless you want to.

If you're into making your own pizza, you might want to invest in a pizza stone. This is a large, round stone, usually with handles, that you can create your pizza directly on top of before you slide it into the oven. It heats the pizza evenly and makes the crust nice and crispy.
