Weight to lift ratio might be a bit tricky but probably faster than the take away back home.

Issue would be keeping delivery hot. If moving fast and far it will be stone cold using conventional thermal pockets for the pizza.

Submarine sandwiches could be delivered with a bolt-on JDAM guidance kit...

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Back of the envelope hand calcs suggest I could rig up something to deliver a Domino's style Pizza box with insulation. I'll need to look into the legality of it, but in a highly dense built up city like London, New York, Singapore or Tokyo....

Looks like I have a summer project.

Deilvering pizza hot isn't hard. Delivering it still 'pizza-shaped' is.

But in EVE Online, Achievements come in the form of perfecting a skill, which marks the beginning of something new and powerful. Only in EVE the ending of such small things mean something greater has begun. ONLY IN EVE!

This platform might work: Japan RC helicopter crop duster. But it would still need the GPS robotic navigation system, debit card machine, and pizza warmer. And, oh yeah... some good liability insurance to cover customers hit by prop blades. Smile

I get where you are coming from. A Quad or Hexacopter configuration would give excellent stability in medium winds. I suppose maybe a drogue shoot would have to be incorporated just in case of a crash landing.
