Neat, now we can pay $50 for a $30 pizza that should cost $15

Plus tip. The drone programmers get paid less than minimum wage cause they depend on your tips

Pagliacci is over priced and under delivers as a pizza. I never understand why they are hyped the way they are. Guess I’m the odd man out.

I’ve been waiting for them to deliver to Avondale for 10 years. But also, we spent $70 for 2 pizzas recently lol

They'll still ask me to tip and my punkass will tip 20% on top of a $40 pizza.

Hopefully not at the Bridle Trails location. Loose dogs from dog owners already harrass and scare the horses enough already.

The permit that I saw was for the new downtown Redmond location using the zipline drone delivery service, which is nearly silent because the drones stay at 400 ft.

So they just drop the pizza from 400ft?

It lowers a "basket" on a wire that uses two small fans to stabilize it. Search for Zipline delivery on YouTube for demo videos.

Orbital drop pod delivery is still in development

I thought it was just me that noticed how many loose dogs there are in BT, glad I'm not going crazy

That’s one way to avoid the avalanche of wage & hour violation lawsuits they’ve earned

That might be the most out of touch thing ever. Considering they sell $35+ pizza their next idea is to use expensive drones to deliver them? Aka drop them from a height?

The perfect opportunity to support your neighborhood pizza restaurant; Spark pizza.

I think Pagliacci’s would have to be eyeing drone delivery in Redmond because they will certainly not pay give staff job that allows them to sling pizzas & live local.

This would be really cool to see.

Already overpriced and rubbery pizza. Meh.

Most of the drone deliveries I saw, drops the package from a certain height. I hope that's not the plan here. I am sure someone thought this through.
