Hi, I'd like to order a large pizza for delivery.
Certainly! What toppings would you like on that, and do you have any dietary restrictions we should know about?
Okay, I'd like half pepperoni and half supreme, please. No mushrooms on the supreme side. And I have a nut allergy, so please no nuts used anywhere.
Got it, half pepperoni, half supreme with no mushrooms, and we'll be extra careful about the nut allergy. Anything else, like drinks or sides?
Yes, I'd like to add an order of garlic knots and a 2-liter bottle of diet cola, please.
Alright, so that's a large half pepperoni, half supreme – no mushrooms, an order of garlic knots, and a 2-liter diet cola. And we'll ensure it's completely nut-free for your allergy. Can I get a delivery address?
