Plenty of people can still answer the phone and write down orders, and payment systems have offline modes. The Internet is not an absolute necessity even now for food delivery to happen.

I kinda meant that if the internet fails for a significant period of time, it's probably a society-breaking problem that causes logistical issues for the entire world. Pizza will not be a priority.

If the internet is down permanently, we're talking societal collapse. Nobody is delivering pizzas.

If it's just a temporary outage, google maps has offline mode.

I don't think phone networks will work if the internet goes down

Cellular calling and text can still work without Internet, using separate channels wholly owned by the telcos.

There is very little pots phone left. If the Internet is down, many areas will be without both.

I think the only POTS left are hobbyist mini exchanges, and even those use computers emulating the old systems. Most couldn't be blue boxed
