Did you know that the world’s first pizza delivery was made in 1889 when Queen Margherita of Italy ordered a pizza from the famous pizzeria in Naples? Fast forward to the present day, and technology has completely revolutionized the way we order and receive our favorite cheesy pies.
With the rise of food delivery apps like Uber Eats and DoorDash, the pizza delivery industry has undergone a major transformation. These platforms have enabled customers to easily order from a variety of restaurants with just a few taps on their smartphones, leading to a significant increase in orders for pizza joints across the globe. According to a report by Allied Market Research, the global online food delivery market is expected to reach $151.5 billion by 2023, with pizza being one of the most popular items ordered.
“We’ve seen a huge spike in online orders since partnering with food delivery apps,” says Giovanni, owner of a local pizzeria. “It’s allowed us to reach a larger customer base and increase our revenue.”
While the convenience of these apps has undoubtedly benefited both customers and businesses, some have raised concerns about the impact on traditional dine-in restaurants. As more people opt for food delivery, the restaurant industry as a whole is facing challenges in adapting to this shift in consumer behavior. However, one thing is certain: the way we order pizza will continue to evolve as technology continues to shape the food delivery landscape.
