Following stay-at-home orders is the best way to minimize your chances of getting COVID-19 or passing it on to others. However, this doesn’t mean you have to go without pizza for a prolonged period. Many restaurants are still open during this hectic time, and you can enjoy a tasty pie by following a few precautionary steps. 

How to Safely Order Pizza

1. Minimize Contact

The novel virus spreads mainly from person to person. So, while your properly prepared and handled food will be fine to consume, you still want to limit contact with any person outside your immediate household. 

When placing your order, be sure to ask about the company’s contactless delivery or pickup options and paperless payment. This way you can receive the food and pay for it without making contact with the driver or restaurant worker.

2. Throw Out the Packaging

The virus is known to survive on surfaces for days. When bringing in outside food containers, it’s essential to take out the food and throw away the packaging immediately to remove any potential threat. There is a very low risk of the virus spreading from the packaging to your food, so you should have no worries about eating your pizza. 

3. Wash Hands & Surface Areas

It’s a very unconscious act to touch your mouth, nose, eyes, and other areas of your face. For this reason, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds immediately after handling take-out packaging. Also, wipe down any areas the packaging made contact with, using a disinfectant specifically designed to kill germs on surfaces.
