Ordered my first pizza online
My wife was working tonight, so I decided to order a pizza for me and the kids. Because we just moved to a new neighborhood (and because my wife always orders the pizza), I had no idea which location of which franchise to call.
I remembered seeing a commercial for Papa John's where they said you can order pizzas online. I also remember thinking what a stupid idea that was. Well, tonight, I took advantage of that stupid idea and it turned out to be pretty cool.
After completing the sign up process (name, address, etc.), the site chose the correct location for my neighborhood. Next, I was shown a list of specials that I could click on to get started. The coolest part was the ability to pick toppings (even half toppings) and know that they would be right. I never feel very confident, when I phone in my order, that it will be correct.
I got an e-mail confirmation of my order within a couple of minutes and my pizza arrived in about 35 minutes.
Maybe I'm a big dork; however, I much preferred ordering online than calling the store directly.

We order online almost exclusively. It beats the heck out of trying to talk to someone who's obviously sitting in the middle of chaos and doesn't really care about your pie.
