What if the pizza cardboard is contaminated by the delivery guy?
Do you place it on the table anyway?
What if someone infected coughed on the pizza itself?
Or simply touched the edges to place it there? At the moment studies prove the virus stays in the air for a while but I couldn't find out whether it stays on surfaces or moving stuff makes it fly. I stopped even buying bread a month ago in my country when there were zero official cases for fear of contamination. Any info or procedure to make life easier is most welcome. |

I don't like delivery and rarely get food delivered (sometimes in hotels). I've read stories about delivery drivers sampling the food or otherwise not protecting it from germs.
If you use Little Caesar's pizza portal, you pull it out of a warming oven yourself. Since it is in a warming oven, I'm guessing the heat will kill the germs.
If you don't have other procedures in place already to handle other issues, I think Little Caesar's pizza portal is the safest "don't need to know much about germ control" option.
If a place has staff that has bad habits, I stop going.
I use self checkout and similar whenever possible.
I usually pay with a card, not cash. Cash tends to be nasty stuff, especially paper money.
I like my food super fresh. I like Little Caesar's in part because they make the dough fresh in house daily. No other major American pizza chain dies that and I tolerate their pizza better than other major chains. I can eat it more consistently, in part because the dough is fresh.
Spices are medicinal. If you are concerned the food is a threat, order spicy foods or add spices. For pizza, red peppers are usually available in store.
If you have no idea what is safe, skip getting paper napkins and trash all extra condiments and the like immediately. Don't keep them around.
Take the trash out of the house immediately to whatever outside trash can you use. Promptly clean up thoroughly afterwards.
Edit:
I will add that staff at eateries are usually better trained in germ control than staff at most other establishments. Cashiers at other stores are a much bigger hazard in my experience and I do my best to use self checkout whenever possible because cashiers are so awful about doing things like licking their fingers to separate bags. You see that much less often in eateries in my experience.
I bet we could enhance containment by just passing and enforcing strict rules for germ control for all cashiers. They are the absolute bane of my existence.
