Pal this was an absurd policy.
It was the same fucking restaurant making 2 different types of pizza, and not making type #1 available unless you order at the counter.
As I said, if they refused, I was just going to take matters into my own hands, walk to the counter, order that pizza, and walk it over to the table. I doubt they would have bitched at me because it's not like I'm bringing in outside food to eat at their tables. I'm buying their own food from a different part of the same restaurant and walking it to the table. But fortunately the manager realized my request was reasonable, and said I could do it as long as I bought the whole giant pizza.
Maybe he thought I'd give up at that point, but he didn't realize who he was dealing with. A giant pizza never deterred me.
Friends,
This is not quite the same thing, but related.
In January 2017 I was skiing in Tahoe on a 15 degree day. By the time I got back, I had mild hypothermia, and clearly had lost body heat. I had a constant chill (even once back in the warm hotel room) and was also super hungry, even though I had eaten a decent sized lunch on the mountain.
I ordered a 16" pepperoni pizza from a nearby pizzeria, and was going to walk over to carry it out. Could not drive due to a ton of snow on the ground. So I walked over there and said, "I'm here for the takeout order under the name Todd."
They brought it to me, and then I thought, "Oh shit. It's like 10 degrees outside. I can't walk this back to Harrah's. It will be cold by then."
So I politely told them I actually needed a table for dine-in.
They sat me down and I told the waitress just to bring over one plate and the pizza they had made for takeout. She brought the stuff, and I started eating.
10 minutes later, the waitress came back and said, "Do you need anything el....? Wait... where did the pizza go?"
I said that I ate it.
"You couldn't have eaten that whole thing in this time. Someone else showed up and had some too, right?"
I told her, "Nope. Just me. Was just hungry after a long day of skiing."
She was absolutely shocked. I had eaten an entire 16 inch pizza in 10 minutes. I didn't try to wolf it down fast, but my body was just so hungry from the loss of heat that I naturally wolfed it down. I looked at my watch, and yeah, it really had been just 10 minutes.
