Money laundering is often used as an explanation for seemingly bad business, but often it doesn't make any sense. Why would you send a pizza to a person who didn't order it and who will not pay? You can make fake orders without actually delivering any pizza. Actually producing and delivering the pizza is only expense and will increase the risk of attracting attention for specious orders (as in this article). If you really need to deliver an actual pizza for some reason, why not to a friend or relative rather than a random person?

maybe they just drive there with an empty pizza box and say here's your pizza. It would suck if one time after years and years of saying no thanks, if he said "you know what, I would like a pizza. yes" and then tried to pay.
What would be the purpose?
I agree. I'm just speculating for fun here.
