** Places that still do have the "thirty minutes" deal nowadays mean "thirty minutes from when it leaves the parlor, not from when you place the order" giving drivers more leeway (and ensuring their safety) while still technically keeping their word.
** In Brazil, (or at least in Rio de Janeiro), Domino's "thirty minutes" deal came with a disclaimer: it was not valid if the order was for more than five pizzas and/or the destination was out of their delivery area.
* The Canadian pizza chain "Pizza Pizza" (not to be confused with Little Caesar's, whose ''slogan'' was "Pizza pizza"), hashad a [https://web.archive.org/web/20121123225930/http://www.pizzapizza.ca/PPLWeb/CommandServlet?command=screenscmd&screenID=ft_guarantee 40 minutes-or-it's-free guarantee] until 2012 or so. Pizzas always seemseemed to come at 39 minutes. The amount of time changes depending on the size of the order and the weather conditions. Large orders can take up to an hour (but arewere still free afterwards).
* Read any messageboard where delivery drivers post. People still appeal to this policy to try to get free food, even if it's not pizza.

That didn't last very long. Among other problems, service for customers inside the restaurant suffered badly.
