Would this be wire fraud?

If you mean by the pizzeria, I don't see a problem.

If you mean DoorDash, I suspect it depends on whether there's something in their presentation that fraudulently impersonates the pizzeria.

If you leave out the toppings it's definitely fraud.

Doordash doesn't get the pizza they paid for and want to resell.

Given the restaurant was receiving calls from customers, would it be okay if a customer who ordered from DoorDash called to change their order? If so, we can add an imaginary step where the person who "ordered" these pizzas had them changed to just dough without demanding a price change.

Wouldn't work in the scenario described in the text.

As far as the restaurant is concerned the order was made by the dasher and can't be changed by seemingly random people who happen to call.

maybe but it didn't happen so it's okay.

That isn't to say it isn't 100% possible, it is.
