Line 19:
* The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic had Luigi (in disguise) 'order' pizza for the Koopalings to give Yoshi, Toad and Peach a chance to enter Bowser's Castle armed with a ton of bombs.
* Variation used in ''[[Deadpool]]'' - Deadpool actually HAD ordered a pizza, but [[The Punisher]], who was looking to kill him, was listening in, intercepted the actual delivery guy, and paid him a thousand bucks for his hat, coat, and pizza.
** Deadpool also inverts this in one story. A woman hires him to kill a man who ruined her life, and the target is a delivery guy. So he breaks into someone's house, and orders pizza, resulting in the mark coming to him. And given how despicable the mark is, the home-owner doesn't even mind.
* Detective Walsh does this in ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'' in order to make contact with Katchoo while she's working for Darcy. Of course, he's delivering pizza.

* In the ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' [[Doujinshi]] ''Rebellion Cycles Conference'', Madoka and Sayaka hear their doorbell ring. Sayaka comments that a normal person shouldn't even be able to get to where they are. Madoka points out that the girl/woman on the other side of the door just said she is the pizza place. After a very small discussion between Madoka and Sayaka, they decide Sayaka should opens the door anyways because who doesn't like pizza? Considering Sayaka got hit in the face with a pizza, apparently the 'delivery person' actually brought a pizza.
* In chapter 4 of ''[[Drunkard's Walk]] S: Heart of Steel'', [[Sailor Moon|Usagi]] uses this combined with [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] to pretend to be a [[wikipedia:Yamato Transport|Yamato Transport]] courier in order to investigate the Crystal Seminar.

* Toward the end of ''[[XIII]]'', you slip into the evil conspiracy's mansion from a fake catering van.
* ''[[Dragon Age: Origins]]'' has this in the "Captured!" scenario, assuming the player takes the "Wait For Rescue" option. Depending on which party members are chosen for the infiltration, they might pretend to be priests or circus performers, but the default is to be delivering rather odd things such as "items of a personal nature" or "several hundred lovely knitted... scarves."
* In ''
* A possible tactic in many levels of the ''[[Hitman]]'' series.
* Utilized in ''[[Yakuza: Like A Dragon]]'' at one point to sneak into the Omi HQ by the good guys. Hilariously, it's done without even a token attempt at a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]], instead the heroes just wear their usual and carry the delivery items while trying to avoid drawing notice.

* Done as [http://achewood.com/index.php?date=01132004 part of Roast Beef's hack of Yahoo! Personals] in ''[[Achewood]]''.
* In one ''[[Nukees]]'' strip, Gav claims he can break into a military base using a piece of cardboard. The piece of cardboard is placed on the roof of his car with the words "Gav's Pizza" written on it. It works.
* From ''[[League

Line 93 ⟶ 97:
* In ''[[Futurama]]'', the prank delivery that gets Fry frozen was planned out by {{spoiler|Nibbler}}.
* ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'' once tried to infiltrate the Fearsome Five's headquarters by pretending to be a flower delivery guy. Of course Negaduck hates flowers, so DW had to backpedal and change it to delivering skulls.

** In fact, this was the basis of an episode. In a rare case of [[Genre Savvy]], Shredder opens a pizza joint that specializes in weird pizzas, planning to stay in business until he gets an order for a pizza that only a mutant turtle could love. Then, he would follow the pizza to the Turtles' lair through a tracking device. The plan falls apart when he a) hires a disguised Michelangelo, and b) the Rat King steals the tracking pizza.
** The Turtles themselves do it in another episode to infiltrate the warehouse where Shredder is holding April hostage. Shredder knows he didn't order pizza, but Rocksteady and Bebop are more gullible.
