Bud would this make a good bar accessory?

I'd have thought a pizza was light enough for them to use flying drones... but then, many people order a lot of other stuff at the same time. Cola, ice cream... and do you want fries with that? DRU looks large enough to bake the pizza en route (pardon my French).

Well, in some movies, and perhaps in real life too, there were people who would, if they'd used some bad language, apologise by saying "Pardon my French." And "en route" is French, so it seemed a natural... particularly for those of us who have recently seen such a movie! Very Happy

Eh, I just don't think Domino's is worth it. Now, if it was Round table, then maybe....

It looks like it shoots it , frisbee like, out the front !

You know that pizza is really an ancient Roman food, served from street side vendors all over Rome. It originally was a piece of flat bread covered with olive oil, onions and graced with what was known as "piscina", a fish paste not unlike anchovies paste.

Tomatos were unknown to them at the time, so sorry, no sauce!
