Ordering Pizza with Unix

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Feb 26th 2006 @ 10:15AM

Let me begin by confessing my lack of knowledge about Unix. With that out of the way, I just learned about Pizza Party, a text-based piece of software designed to work with Domino's Pizza's QuikOrder system. Generally, I've always been impressed when friends have taken the time to order a pizza online, rather than just calling. In turn, I'm even more impressed that someone has written a program to order pizza online. Basically, you just type in your pizza parameters and it uses your Domino's user name and password to deliver your order to their site. There are some security issues, however. Nevertheless, it's still a fun idea. I also like that it "supports most currently popular toppings like 'mushrooms', and 'pepperoni'!"

If you don't like Domino's, I guess you're S.O.L. Write your own program.
