As a owner of a dice I don't see a great need for this even if it was available at my location. The dice solution also has a lot more features such as covering allergies, absolutely-not-toppings or just adding drinks.

I guess if saving the surprise until you actually open the box is important you could either have a friend roll for you or give your local pizza place a dice (or url) and promise a tip if they roll for you. Who knows, maybe they would even like the idea of adding that to their menu.

If you want to complicate things a bit it should not be very difficult to just make a user script that makes a random order for you on your favorite pizza site.

Back before Netflix decided my address was fake and cancelled my account, and dvds were more relevant, I maintained a 500 length movie queue. When I got a dvd in the mail, it would be something I chose years in advance and I'd not look at the title on the envelope. The surprise from my past self was a great part of the experience.
