How to order pizza or dinner on the phone


When you call say a pizza delivery service they pick up the phone with
something like "Tanaka's pizza delivery service, XYZ branch, this is Sato
speaking". (I'm sorry, I'd reproduce it in Japanese but it was so fast that I
didn't really understand it).

What do I say in response to that? In England I'd say, "Hi, I'd like to order
a pizza". What would be better for me, in Japanese, something more generic
like, "Hi, I'd like to place an order". But do Japanese people really say this
when they order food?

I'm pretty sure that "こんばんは。注文をしたいのですが。。。"is not what Japanese people say when
they call a restaurant. What's natural?




Greetings like こんばんは sounds unnecessary. Some people may begin with すみません,
though I don't think it necessary either. I would say はい、注文をお願いします, just like
you in English!
