Until a few years ago there were few ways to get food at home, you could order pizza or maybe Chinese, but little else. Today, while it is always possible to call local pizzerias to request home delivery, there is also the possibility of using some applications to order food and request practically any type of dish.
These are highly publicized applications that you just need to sign up for, consult the menu of the partner restaurants, order what you want to eat, wait for the courier and pay in cash, as you would if you received take-away pizzas.
Below we see best sites and applications to order food, which can be used in most cities in Italy, to receive food at home from various restaurants.
NOTE: Having not been able to try them all, I cannot give a complete judgment on the service offered, so then you can leave a comment on the various applications to share the impressions of the experience experienced.
1) Just Eat, available for Android and iPhone, is the most popular app for ordering food using a smartphone, also for its advertising on TV.
Just Eat allows you to order food in several restaurants, to receive food at home and without commissions (although there may be delivery costs of 2.50 Euros). Orders can be paid directly on delivery to the courier, or you can pay online by credit card if you don't have cash in the house. With Just Eat it is also possible to order food for a certain established time. The app requires free registration with name, surname, number, email address and, of course, delivery address. Even before creating an account, you can immediately browse the menus of the nearest restaurants, look at the prices and choose whether to order or not. For each order you will receive the tax receipt and a confirmation email. Just Eat, compared to the others, is the only one that works in many cities in Italy and is certainly the most reliable service.
2) Deliveroo, available for Android and iPhone smartphones, allows you to order food from your chosen restaurant from your mobile phone. You will find dishes from many well-known places, working very well in big cities like Rome and Milan. Delivery costs may be present depending on the menu chosen, but there is a minimum order of 15 Euros (for lower orders two Euros must be paid). Deliveroo is a service still in the expansion phase and while with Just Eat you should find many restaurants available, with Deliveroo it is not certain that you will find one.
3) Moovenda is an app that works well in Rome and Naples, which allows you to order from many restaurants, pubs, Chinese, vegetarian, sushi and pizza with a shipping cost of 2.70 Euros.
4) UberEATS is an application to order food and home delivery that works all over the world, but only in some cities. In Italy, it is currently active only in Milan. Ordering with UberEats costs 5 Euros, which is not cheap.
5) Glovo is another application that you can try to order food at home, which works in some areas of Rome and Milan.
6) FoodRacers, of which the Android and iPhone apps are obviously available, allows you to order food in various cities in northern Italy including Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Cremona, Mestre, Padua, Parma, Pavia, Piacenza, Pordenone, Ravenna, Trento, Treviso, Trieste, Udine, Varese, Vicenza. The peculiarity is in the delivery made by racers, that is independent people who propose to work as bellboys and earn on deliveries.
