Hey guys, Super excited that you found our little pet project! I hadn't anticipated this getting posted to product hunt, but figured I'd take the opportunity to comment on what we're doing. We're actually in the final throws of going live in the San Francisco Mission District (just waiting for the pizza box designs to come back). Our early delivery testing has been deliciously promising -- and we've been getting people their pies in 13 minutes on average. Our chef Erik Jacobs is absolutely amazing, his neapolitan pizzas are crisped to perfection in an 800°F wood fire oven. He's a former culinary school instructor, experienced pizza business owner, and most recently the Dropbox pizza chef. Ask your Dropbox friends about his pizza :) FYI, we'll be doing a promotion in the month of October for those in the SF Mission District and would absolutely love to hear from you. Evan Pi Founder

@evankuo thanks for the insight. That definitely makes a massive difference that you're not just a front-end for other random pizza stores

@evankuo cool — no, I can't remember how I found it to be honest. I think that I might have just been searching Google for "Uber for pizza", as I've been doing a bit of research into the space.

Push for Pizza got a ton of love a while back. It's unclear which restaurants they deliver from though.

It wasn't even clear which city this was for until I found the map (of SF). I like the concept but no way I'm downloading until I know where the food is from.

Gave it a download and very first prompt was the need for Background Location services. Denied it and it gives you a "Location Disabled" screen with nothing else to do. While I appreciate "features", give me a clear reason to trust them first.

@evankuo how do you foresee the product expanding outside of SF?

@evankuo I love the concept and wish you guys luck. Quick feedback is: I am a longtime patron of Pi Bar in the Mission - and your name, branding and logo are pretty much identical. I know you are just testing the concept, but I immediately thought you were the restaurant and your brand similarities were pretty similar, especially seeing that you guys are launching in the Mission. This applies to about .000001% of people in the world but thought I'd mention it. Again, good luck with the launch.

This is an amazing name for a pizza delivery company. Nerds will appreciate.

@eriktorenberg -- interesting fact about the Pi boot-up screen, the animation that draws our logo doubles as an algorithm that can compute Pi to an arbitrary number of digits!

@eriktorenberg - I guess we got a little carried away We also have an easter egg game inside that's based on the working memory section of the IQ test, except it trolls the crap out of the player. (ie: tells me I have the working memory of a prodigious field mouse). #shamelessnerdiness
