| - Oh Delicious Deliveries! You steal my wallet, yet fill me with a complete meal and the bonus side- I can stay in my pajamas. For those of you who don't know- the idea is simple. Hit the DD website, type in your zip code, and up pops a list of restaurants to order from. The brilliance? Not all are Chinese takeaway, Jimmy Johns, or Pizza! The ultimate easiness for the nights we're lazy, don't want to cook, or just plain and simple don't want to get in the car and drive (or the times we don't want to deal with people). But I digress.. Click some buttons, send in your order, and wait for the phone call. The call is just to reiterate your order is correct and make sure you get the correct pricing.
Ah, pricing. Yeah, I won't lie.. This is expensive. For most places, there is a 20- minimum charge and it must be at the restaurant- the tax isn't included, the delivery fee isn't included, it must be 20 on salads, soups, entrée(s), in any order, in any combo you'd like. Delivery charge from what I've seen has been between 6-8 dollars.
I've had the same driver multiple times and bonus points to him for dealing with my loud-yet-tiny pug who thinks she's a macho guard dog. I don't know his name, but he doesn't blink an eye.
The wait? Eh, been usually about an hour. I don't know if I can peg that on DD though- I mean first they have to place the order, then it need to be prepared, then it has to be picked up, then delivered.. Since you need a minimum of 20 dollars worth of items, it's more to prepare than one sandwich and you're good to go!
I personally love this concept for the lazy times. Try it. Same food from the places you know and are familiar with in the comfort of your own home- where you can eat in any outfit you desire.
