Pizza Plus PlayStation

Posted by Adam Kuban, February 18, 2005

Pizza and video games seem to go hand in hand. Think Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese. Think of all the times on The O.C. when the guys do some male bonding over pizza and PlayStation ("The Secret" and "The Ex-Factor" come to mind).

Well, now you can order pizza from inside a video game:

You're in luck - pizza is just a few key strokes away! While playing EverQuest II just type /pizza and a web browser will launch the online ordering section of pizzahut.com. Fill in your info and just kick back until fresh pizza is delivered straight to your door.

A couple of readers have sent us this link (thanks Cyrus and Tien!), and it's been mentioned on boingboing. We think it's worth noting for novelty's sake, but really, we already have a high-tech device that allows us to order pizza in "just a few key strokes"!

It's called a telephone.

[Oh, and a note to the Everquest II website's copywriter: It's hunger pangs not hunger pains. Being word nerds and frequent sufferers of pizza pangs, we know our gustatory vocab.]
