1 If using a Touch-Tone, press random numbers while ordering. Ask the person taking the order to stop doing that. 2 Make up a charge-card name. Ask if they accept it. 3 Use CB lingo, where applicable. 4 Order a Big Mac Extra Value Meal. 5 Terminate the call with"Remember, we never had this conversation". 6 Tell the order taker a rival pizza place is on the other line and your going with the lowest bidder. 7 Give them your address and exclaim "Oh just surprise me", and hang up. 8 Answer their questions with questions. 9 In your breathiest voice, tell them to cut the crap about nutrition and ask if they have something outlandishly sinful. 10 Use these bonus words in the conversation: ROBUST FREE-SPIRITED COST-EFFICIENT UKRAINIAN PUCE. 11 Tell them to put the crust on top this time. 12 Sing the order to the tune of your favorite song from "Metallica's Master Of Puppets" CD. 13 Do not name the topping you want, rather spell them out. 14 Put an extra edge in you voice when you say "crazy bread". 15 Stutter on the letter "p". 16 Ask for a deal available somewhere else. (e.g. If phoning Domino's ask for a Cheeser! Cheeser!) 17 Ask what the order taker is wearing. 18 Crack your knuckles into the receiver. 19 Say hello, act stunned for five seconds, then behave as if they called you. 20 Rattle off you order with a determined air. If they ask if you would like drinks with that, panic and become disoriented. 21 Tell the order taker that your depressed. Get him/her to cheer you up. 22 Make a list of exotic cuisines. Order them as toppings. 23 Change your accent every three seconds. 24 Order 52 pepperoni slices prepared in a fractal pattern as follows from an equation you are about to dictate. Ask if they need paper. 25 Act like you know the order taker from somewhere. Say "Bed-Wetters Camp, right? 26 Place the accent on the last syllable of "pepperoni" Use the long "I" sound. 27 Order while using an electric knife sharpener. 28 Psychoanalyze the order taker. 29 Imitate the order takers voice. 30 Say its your anniversary and you'de appreciate if the deliverer hid behind some furniture waiting for your spouse to arrive so you can surprise him/her.

Last time I ordered pizza on the phone, I had to argue with a trainee, then his manager on a coupon I got off their site. Then after they cleared it, I got to argue with the delivery person about amount.

31. After they repeat your order, ask them how they knew what you wanted. 32. Order the "house special" and tell them you want the same girl as last time. 33. Ask them if they could read you the menu. Then order one that wasn't on it. 34. Ask how much pizza you can get for 25 cents. 35. When he's a guy, and you're a guy, tell him he has a sexy voice. 36. Order a pizza, when he asks where it should be delivered, say "Room 412, please." and hang up. 37. Ask them to speak up because you're deaf. Shout back. 38. Ask them to speak up because you're blind. 39. Put two pizza places in a conference call. First call one and put him on hold. Call the other and order a few pizzas. Ask him to repeat the order and immediately put the other pizza place back in the conference call. Sit back and enjoy. 40. Ask them if they deliver to Europe.

Cliff, Shazammm! Those are excellent ways to get the order in. I thought this forum was flling asleep for a while. Excuse me...Gotta go now.....Have to make a few calls. Heh Heh!
41. Ask if they're familiar with the term "spanking a pizza." Make up a description to go with the term. Ask that this be done to your pizza. 42. When listing toppings you want on your pizza, include another pizza. 43. Teach the order taker a secret code. Use the code on all subsequent orders. 44. When the order is repeated, change it slightly. When it is repeated again, change it again. On the third time, say "You just don't get it, do you?" 45. Get the order takers name. Call back in a half hour, in your best radio voice say "Is this (name)? This is (local radio station) you are the ninth caller. Whats the phrase that pays?" 46. Say, in your best pouty voice, "Last person let me do it."

What do you do when they answer the phone and know who you are? The local Pizza place has caller ID and runs the phone number through a database and knows who we are.

You people are EVIL!!! I make pizzas for a living!!! I'm just glad we don't deliver.
Some of these things have happened to me though. Especially people asking stupid questions. I've almost been fired a few times for being rude to stupid customers though, so I've been forced to be nicer lately, which absolutely sucks.

AkursedX, In Chicago (The Pizza Capital of the World) we have a higher tolerance for carrying on and promoting the Pizza industry. Some phone orders can go on for as long as an hour. I've actually ordered Pizza in-house and observed the countergirl talking on tele that long. Its chalked up to a great cloudy area called Public Relations. Have fun.

call up one of those anonymous counselling services like Kids Help Phone or whatever, and whisper that your friend is convinced he's a pizza place, and you think he's crazy.. ask if they'll talk to him.. then you say "hang on I'll get him to come to the phone", and then call up a pizza place (you need 3 way calling for this..) it should be pretty funny, if the person on the phone is trying to convince the pizza guy he doesn't really work at a pizza place.
not recommended though, you could be tying up the line preventing a real call from getting thru.. my sister and her friends user to prank call the kids help phone a lot back in jr. high.. they gave her some hilarious advice when she called though, she called once and was crying that she had no friends.. so the guy on the line suggested she talk to people in elevators. LOL.
