We don't answer calls anymore, and a "fake" pizza delivery, doesn't that mean the person get's a free pizza?

Here, you're disrupting someone's most vital health function for a low fee.

No joke, I won the World Sleep Championships a few years back, and received two deliveroo knocks on my door that night. I was modestly suspicious that it was intentional interference to throw me off (of course, there was no money on the line, and I am pretty sure other competitors didn't know where I lived).

In America, at least, it's still possible to place an order by phone call and pay the delivery person when it arrives.

That's wild! I thought that would have disappeared with Doordash, etc. Can you pay a doordasher when the food arrives? I assume that's all through CCs.

  I'm sure DoorDash doesn't allow it. But a lot of older people call for pizza the way they've always done for decades, so it's common enough that the pizza places (at least in my low-crime suburban area) have decided to keep allowing it.
  They usually have some sort of system where your address is connected with your phone number after your first order, so they must be able to see that you've called X times and paid reliably in the past.
