A short 2007 demo of Pizza Party, a command line program that orders Domino's pizza from a UNIX-like terminal. The video shows the designers placing an order using the software.

Why Hacker News points people here: Cited as a nostalgic example of a CLI that orders pizza whenever HN discusses terminal-based ordering.

That seems a rather big privacy issue on Domino's part. I wonder if it also opens the doors to some kind of social engineering attack, with someone pretending to be Domino's asking for money over the phone. As an aside I thought this is rather cool - Pizza Party a CLI for Domino's this video (One day I'd like to be able to afford to cron job something like that ;)
