** 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.

Pizzas always seem to come at 39 minutes. The amount of time changes depending on the size of the order and the weather conditions.

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