* 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 ''[[Persona 4]]'', {{spoiler|Namatame}} uses his job as a delivery man to get close to people shown on the Midnight Channel without arousing suspicion. {{spoiler|and throw them into a TV he hides in the back of his delivery-truck.}}
* A possible tactic in many levels of the ''[[Hitman]]'' series.

* 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.

* In the ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' episode "Make Em Laugh", The Joker kidnaps Lisa Lorraine this way. Lisa knows she didn't order pizza, but offers to buy it anyway, which is when the Joker opens the box, which contains knock-out gas.
* The Joker uses a variation of the strategy in ''[[The Batman]]'' episode "Strange Minds" to kidnap Yin. He first slips a flyer for a pizza place under the door to her apartment (with a coupon); when she comes home from work, she's too tired to cook and decides to use it. She's suspicious when the operator says there's a "fifteen-seconds or it's free" offer, especially when it seems he actually gets there on time. Unfortunately, by then he has the jump on her.
* In an episode of ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'', Courage uses this trick to get in a villain's lair, convincing Eustace to act as the delivery man while he hides in the pizza box. The villain is smart enough to know he didn't order pizza, but his dimwitted assistant who answers the door does not. Eustace doesn't know what's going on, but he doesn't complain; as he says, it'ds the easiest twenty bucks he's ever made.
