When I first got onto the site that shall not be named, while poking around in it I found that community fairly fast. I never participated due to the fact that I never needed it, but I also didn’t really have the extra cash to send a pizza to anyone as well. But I always thought it was such a genuine gesture of people on the internet, to just send a shitty domino’s pizza to someone who possibly was struggling and make their day/dinner a little better through a bit of generosity.

Does anyone else have a similar niche community that actually had an impact on peoples lives in a fairly positive way?

    I remember vaguely; doesn’t the recipient have to give out their address to someone who’s going to “send them a pizza” though for it to work or is there a way to “sponsor a pizza” through chains so some rando on the web doesn’t have an address and username?

      You could always have ordered it for pickup, the address end of it does seem a bit sketchy.

        I mean whats the worst that could happen when you post your address online, random shit in the mail? No one posting for a free pizza is gonna have anything worth coming to steal usually.

      I believe it started that way but they largely moved to giftcards for both privacy and logistics reasons.
