New Xbox Live app ushers in phone-free home delivery ordering via voice command or motion.
Through the downloadable app, Pizza Hut for Xbox enables players to order from the full menu, including new products, straight from their Xbox LIVE dashboard. Customers who download and place an order through the App by May 6 will receive 15 percent off their entire purchase.
As part of the App launch announcement, more than 2,000 Xbox employees were in attendance at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash., for the ceremonial first order placed via the Pizza Hut for Xbox App. Pizza Hut and Xbox executives, Xbox’s Larry Hryb (a.k.a Major Nelson) and professional Halo player and entrepreneur David “Walshy” Walsh introduced the partnership and demonstrated the App following a memorable arrival alongside the iconic Halo Warthog. The event marked the official nationwide launch of the Pizza Hut for Xbox App.

The pizza ordering app for Xbox adds to a multitude of ordering options available to Pizza Hut customers. It all began in 1994 when a Pizza Hut pizza was the first item ever purchased via the internet. More formal “online ordering” became available via Pizza Hut in 2001, and in 2008, Pizza Hut introduced mobile ordering via text messages, which then evolved into a groundbreaking ordering app for the iPhone in 2008. Beginning in 2011, customers had the option of ordering Pizza Hut through apps for the iPad, Windows and Android smartphone, along with an all-new app for the iPhone.
