Pizza Hut Israel is trialing a new program that would enable drones to bring orders for delivery to pre-approved hubs, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday (Jan. 18).
The company is planning to launch a test pilot and send drones to deliver multiple orders at government-approved landing zones in Israel — such as designated parking spots. From that point, drivers would take the food to the last leg of delivery, according to the report.
“Drone delivery is a sexy thing to talk about, but it’s not realistic to think we’re going to see drones flying all over the sky dropping pizzas into everyone’s backyards anytime soon,” Ido Levanon told the Journal. Levanon is the managing director of Dragontail Systems, the technology firm coordinating Pizza Hut’s drone trial.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the agency overseeing drones, told the news outlet that regulations regarding the use of the technology have been challenging. The FAA recently green-lighted “hands-on piloting or direct observation by humans,” the Journal said.

That’s awesome. The good news is that your pizza will be delivered in 20 minutes via drone. The bad news is that it’s coming from Pizza Hut.

What if the pizza cook is secretly PLO or Hamas?
Then you get pizza with BOOM!

I read the headline, and Iron Dome was the first thing I thought too.

With all the great food to choose from in Tel Aviv (and all of Israel), the last thing I’d order would be Pizza Hut...

With all the great food to choose from in Tel Aviv (and all of Israel), the last thing I’d order would be Pizza Hut... That's for sure! Aaah, the pasta we had in Israel. The fish, mmmm. The shish kabobs and schwarma! The one thing I ate in Israel that wasn't great was pizza from an independently owned pizza shop. Otherwise, it was glorious.
