order pizza iphone app launches get pizza from anywhere ` Order Pizza is an iPhone application that allows users to order pizza from virtually any pizza selling establishment using the phone's GPS to provide location-aware listings of nearby restaurants serving pizza. The application takes orders via the iPhone and then places a call to the restaurant, with the user's order converted to text and read to the restaurant using Twilio's text-to-speech engine. The app is free and doesn't add any extra charges for ordering pizza through it, but it plans to earn revenue by selling premium services to pizzerias, such as their own branded apps or additional menu options.
