Order a pizza and have it delivered to room

[Choozee]

Is it allowed to call pizza delivery from Pizza Hut and have it delivered to our room at PBH? It might be a silly question, but I'm very curious to know. I know some resorts frown on that kind of stuff

We were at RPH last week and got a couple of those doorknob-style fliers under the door advertising a local pizza/Italian place that delivered (not sure if they would bring it to your room or just the lobby). Maybe they had a special arrangement with the hotel in order to advertise that way. I don't know if the hotel could actually prohibit you from having something delivered to the lobby regardless of where it was from.

you only received a couple??? lol


i got plenty.

rph does not allow the pizza places to solicit business.
i was told last year if i receive those flyers, call the front desk.
especially if that paper is being slide under my door as i am standing there.

they don't allow vendors like that to roam in the hotel floors.

i heard someone talk about some guests were distributing those flyers.
maybe they were paid to by one of those pizza joints?


but to answer your question, yes, you can have the pizza delivered but need to meet them in the lobby.

to add....

When the economy tanked, there were issues with a lot of shady "pizza and sub" businesses popping up and soliciting at the hotels for business. Sometimes these people were reselling frozen grocery store pizzas for a large markup. sometimes they were fronts for credit card scams. and many times they didn't have the proper legal health or business credentials to operate these businesses.

There were also a few reports that some of the people where using the distro of the flyers as an excuse to visit a hotel and were casing the joint trying to get an idea of which rooms where occupied or which guests were currently away for other more serious crimes.


As a result, many of the more upscale or legit resorts and hotels have tried to crack down on the practice, both through the delivery of flyers, and also in some cases by limiting what offsite locations are allowed to deliver food to the resort.

In general, to protect yourself, stick with the national chains or the names you recognize (Such as Flippers or Gordino's around the Disney area)

Just to let you know that the pizza at Sal's Deli at the PBH is excellent and relatively inexpensive.

Very good information. We will probably give Sals a try too

Two, we had tons of flyers this past trip and every trip that I can remember. They go right in the trash. Just like others mentioned. You can order and pickup in the lobby. We saw lots of food deliveries this past stay in the lobby. I would never order from the flyers but from a reputable chain different story.

Well this story is not about Orlando, but the first time hubby and I visited Miami we were fairly naive to the whole flyer-under-the-door thing. We got to the hotel about 10am from the airport, tired and hungry. We tried calling one of the numbers for a pizza delivery, and it just kept ringing and forwarded to what sounded like a general cellphone voicemail. We tried one more place sad2 and again same thing. He went to the front desk they told us DO NOT use any of those flyers and gave us a national chain's menu.
Hours later and I mean hours, it was dark out, my husband started getting calls on his cellphone. He didn't recognize the number and let it go to voicemail. Then they called back again. Two more times before he answered. It was some man, asking if we were looking to order food! He told him no we were all set and hung up. It was the weirdest thing. We read somewhere later on that this was a way for scammers to get your credit card number. I have no doubt that it was a scam. Good thing they were probably asleep when we were looking for a pizza in the morning.
