I built a tool called Pizza Voter to end the 20-minute debate over toppings
I wanted to share a tool I recently launched called **Pizza Voter**.
The idea came after a team of software engineers I worked with was given a credit card to order pizza. Out came the whiteboard to track everyone's "nos" and "must-haves"; it was messy. I built this to automate the social logistics of picking toppings so groups can just get an order together.
**How it works:**
* **Start a party:** No account or signup needed.
* **Join & Rate:** Friends join on their own phones via a link and rate toppings (Love, Hate or Don't Mind).
* **The Result:** The algorithm calculates the best mix of pizzas to ensure everyone has at least one they’ll genuinely enjoy.
It’s a simple tool designed to be used while sitting on the couch with friends or at the office. It takes about 60 seconds to get a result that keeps everyone happy.
**A note on privacy/ads:** It is currently ad-free. I’ve included potential ad vendors in the privacy policy because I’d like to add an ad in the future to help cover server costs, but for now, it's just a project I want people to try. I also use ` ipwho.is ` http://ipwho.is for basic geographic estimation for the party sessions.
