^ top ^	A Pizza Phil's mind... I would personally like to thank all our visitors for helping us become the fastest growing pizza website in the world. I am delighted to share the news that when it comes to attracting people to our website, we outrank Pizza Hut, Burger King and McDonalds (source: hitwise.co.uk). It just proves that a small independent company such as ours can compete with the big boys without having to charge its customers subscriptions or spending vast sums on marketing. Having said all that, I am an ambitious sort of character - and I want more people using this site! That is why I always listen, learn and adapt to the needs of our visitors. I set this site up in 1998 with a small budget (courtesy: The Princes Trust) and plenty of enthusiasm. From its early days I knew that it would be a success only if people used the site for its intended purpose - to search for and order a pizzas online. Four years on - we have fewer shops trading online than we had hoped for but our site traffic has increased dramatically aswell as our reputation for honesty. So I'm halfway there! So this brings me to my plea for help... I have created an incentive plan for you to earn cash whilst spreading the word about ThePizza.Shop. It works very simply: Tell a local pizza shop owner about us and earn Ł20.00 when they sign up to our services. Simple and effective! To find out more about this and to start earning money today...go here for details. So until next time, Bon Appetit & keep eating Pizza! (© 2002 Philip Buddery email me)

^ top ^	On-line ordering update... Online ordering is not currently supported in every region of the UK. Whilst we are working hard to ensure more shops offer online ordering it still a mammoth task. Please bear with us whilst we continue on our mission of total UK coverage by the end of the year. If your region is not serviced with online ordering, you can order on-line from Dominos Pizza who have over 240 shops offering online ordering. However, many shops listed at ThePizza.Shop offering online ordering up and down the country, so please follow the steps below to qualify for this free service. Step 1. Pre-register for on-line ordering. This enables us to verify orders are from you in the future. We will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your details to ANYONE. Step 2. Search for your local pizza shop. Once you have found the shop you wish to order from, click on the ordering link and complete your order using the form provided. Step 3. Submit your order and the shop MAY call you within 5 minutes to confirm your order (Its a good idea to give an alternative telephone number just in case you are still connected to the Internet!) Step 4. Go to the fridge, open a beer or bottle of wine, find your comfy spot on the sofa.....and wait. Step 5. Answer the door when delivery driver comes...pay the man/woman...leaving a tip will often result in speedier delivery next time! Enjoy your pizza! Include your phone number when ordering otherwise your order will not be processed. ^ top ^ Your privacy is assured at all times and we ensure that your details are not passed on to any one else.To view how we use your information - please look at our Privacy Policy**.
