Pizza Delivery in 15 minutes

This is an interesting application of wireless internet, plus its a pretty ingenious business model. Check it out:
Thirty-minute delivery: the unspoken, but sought-after standard in the pizza business.

Scott Matthew claims his company, Super Fast Pizza, can go from phone call to front porch in half that time.
...
"You hang up the phone, get the kids together, put out the paper plates and we’re parked out front. It blows them away."
So how do they do it?
Using a wireless Internet connection, orders are transmitted to vans in the field, an alarm rings and they’re printed out. The driver — who works solo — goes to the van’s kitchen area, pulls pre-made pizzas on parbaked shells from the cooler and places them in one of five concession-stand-style pizza ovens which cook at 600 F. (The well-secured kitchen equipment runs off onboard generators.) He then returns to the driver’s seat and sets off to the delivery point.

30 minutes or 45. What's fifteen minutes. Is the pizza good, is my question.

Yeah, you are right. In a sense, this service is a sad statement on our society. Then again, when its late night and you got the munchies, za in 15 minutes is a gift from god.

Why is this "... a sad statement on our society"? Au contraire, if one decides to eat such crap, it is rational to prefer eating it asap not only to get on with whatever life's tasks pressing enough to require so parlous a decision, but also to minimize time spent at this nadir of gastronomy. Can you get anchovies?
