BARCELONA - These days, it's not hard to order a pizza -- you can do it over the phone, through an app, or even on your Xbox. But still, some dream of a future in which ordering a pizza is always just one click away.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, an Italian startup called La Comanda is demoing a prototype of Click'N'Pizza, a gadget that makes ordering a pizza a one-click experience.
After you customize the order through the web app, you click the button (which doubles as a refrigerator magnet) and voila, your pizza is on the way.
You can also customize the order on the go by turning the button, which has a display showing you the wait time for your pizza. The display can be used additionally for promotional messages or offers from the pizza vendor -- for example, if it's your birthday, the button might alert you that today you can get two pizzas for the price of one.
The button connects to your house's Wi-Fi, and has a battery that lasts about ten days, after which you'll need to recharge it via a standard microUSB cable.
The idea is not new; in 2012, we saw a very similar solution called the VIP Fridge Magnet in Dubai.
The big news? La Comanda claims it has a deal with Pizza Hut, and fans of the pizza chain will be able to order their pies as early as summer 2015.
