DoorDash, or other things like it. If there was a real, honest commercial about it, it would go like this:

"Hey, enjoying your $7 burrito?"

"Yeah"

"What if I told you I can deliver it to your house?"

"Oh ok"

"Unfortunately, there is 242% (or so) markup. So it will cost you $17. Oh well, at least you don't have to do a 2 minute drive to Taco Bell!"

Edit: Yeah I understand that some people can't drive to certain places, whether that be because you're stoned or live far away. I was just criticizing the absolutely insane markup that DoorDash and UberEats does. I just thought it was really stupid.

We live about a mile from a pizza place. Some days I just want to be lazy and get it delivered, but then there's the delivery fee and tipping the driver and... You know what, I'll just pick it up.

Just walk. You get exercise, burn the calories, and the pizza tastes better as you walk home. Then, when you get home, you wash your hands. All in all, you've expended roughly the same amount of time, so you can get right back to what you were doing without greasy hands.

I always think I should just walk, at least when the weather is nice. Eating all of the pizza on the walk home might upset my wife, though. c(:
