The stores wouldn't even need to be wired up to the Internet. All they would need is a call center to dispatch pizza orders to the stores or a fax machine if they wanted to dispatch orders without a voice call, both mature, widely deployed tech at the time.

Yep, I later realized that flaw in my skepticism. In fact I had done some delivery from a store that used a call center, so it should have been obvious.
