This Thursday you can have a delivery pizza for lunch for Dhs1

Deliveroo offered Dhs1 pizzas at lunchtime today and the demand was very, very high, leaving many people pizza-less.

This Thursday, from 11am to 2pm, Deliveroo sold 1,000 pizzas for a cool Dhs1 each (that’s per pie, not per slice).

The pizzas were given away on a first-come-first-served basis and sold out at 11.02am.

OUR ORDERING STORY

We tried to order pizzas from two separate companies at 11.04am and kept getting an error that said our order couldn’t be processed.

We were then charged multiple times for the pizzas (three times from one company and two times from another), but didn’t receive an order confirmation.

Twenty minutes later we received an order confirmation for three small margarita pizzas, expected delivery time 12.33pm.

At 1.20pm one small margarita arrived, even though our order confirmation had said three would be coming.

We flipped a coin and one of us had a pizza. The other two went down to the shop to buy a samosa.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

Deliveroo says the pizzas sold out in two minutes and that if you were charged and don’t get pizzas you will be reimbursed today.

Basically, if you didn’t get an order confirmation email, it’s unlikely you’re getting a pizza delivery.

Here’s what Deliveroo have said: “Any customers who have received bank authorisation fees will be refunded once cards have been authorised by their banks.”
