A big insulated box on the back carried multiple pizzas. I think Pizza Hut still do this? Presumably a bike would work just as well but cause less pollution.....easy to park too.</p> <p>EDIT: Domino Pizza in China:</p> <p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2207/2437975928_de05419faf_b.jpg"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2207/2437975928_de05419faf_b.jpg"></a></p> <p>Or Portlandia style pizza delivery:</p> <p><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/341735710_92e61fe847.jpg?v=0"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/341735710_92e61fe847.jpg?v=0"></a></p> <p><a href="http://ecologicalurbanliving.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/pizza-delivery-bike.html" rel="nofollow">http://ecologicalurbanliving.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/pizza-delivery-bike.html</a></p> <p>Leipzig pizza:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cartalk.com/sites/default/files/blogs/jim-motavalli/images/car%20talk%20joey%20pizza.jpg"><img src="http://www.cartalk.com/sites/default/files/blogs/jim-motavalli/images/car%20talk%20joey%20pizza.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.cartalk.com/content/amazing-world-cargo-bikes" rel="nofollow">http://www.cartalk.com/content/amazing-world-cargo-bikes</a></p> <p>(Crossover with cargo bike thread) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17233#post-238298 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 14:35:53 +0000 Ed1 238298@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well to be fair the residents should have been riding their bicycles , someone cannot carry pizza on a bike so well. Also in less silly way delivery drivers may reduce total traffic as they deliver many meals at once if everyone drove be more traffic </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17233#post-238291 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 13:50:54 +0000 urchaidh 238291@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They parked a line of these in the short stay bays on Porty High Street one evening. Next morning, residents went ballistic in that way that Porty residents do. They haven't done it since. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17233#post-238276 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 12:17:16 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 238276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I also saw the Favorita flock up there at the weekend. I'm told there are some Crolla casas in the vicinity. I'll resist the urge to say I've never seen so many of the Yellow Perils legally parked before... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17233#post-238268 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 11:46:05 +0000 kaputnik 238268@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Crollas (owners of La Favorita) have a unit at the end of Edina Place in Leith where they store stuff. Amusingly, there's a hand-written sign on the gates telling people not to park there and obstruct the gates or the police will be called.</p> <p>Pot, meet pizza stone. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17233#post-238238 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 20:30:17 +0000 gembo 238238@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A flock of 8 la favorita delivery cinquecentos parked on cluny drive this morning. That is a lot of pizza for breakfast. </p>
