Pizzas for bitcoin?

I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day.  I like having left over pizza to nibble on later.  You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that.  I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.

Thanks,
Laszlo

He did a first or only trade with jercos on 22 May 2010.

lazslo's post about that address.

He let the offer opened
This is an open offer by the way.. I will trade 10,000 BTC for 2 of these pizzas any time as long as I have the funds (I usually have plenty).  If anyone is interested please let me know.  The exchange is favorable for anyone who does it because the 2 pizzas are only about 25 dollars total, maybe 30 if you give the guy a nice tip.  If you get me the upgraded extra large ones or something, I can throw in some more bitcoins, just let me know and we'll work something out.

My 1 year old daughter really enjoys pizza too!  She just smears it all over her face if you give her a whole slice, but she does eventually manage to get most of it in her mouth (minus a few loose toppings of course).

He ended his offer on 4 August 2010

Well I didn't expect this to be so popular but I can't really afford to keep doing it since I can't generate thousands of coins a day anymore  Smiley Thanks to everyone who bought me pizza already but I'm kind of holding off on doing any more of these for now.

Looks like he traded more than 10,000 BTC for more than two pizzas. I don't find any post of laszlo on bitcoin talk that how many pizzas he bought with how many bitcoins before the offer closure.

Jameson Lopp tweeted. That offer ended up with 8 pizzas for 40,000 BTC.
On this day 13 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 BTC in return for 2 Papa John's pizzas. But the story didn't end there!

Turns out that Laszlo REALLY LOVES PIZZA. He kept his offer open for some time and eventually ended up purchasing 8 pizzas for a total of 40,000 BTC.

12 years ago today, Laszlo Hanyecz had tens of thousands of bitcoin he had mined just burning a hole in his pocket. He also had a hankering for pizza. The rest... was history.

Fun fact: he kept his pizza offer open for a while and in total purchased 8 pizzas for 40,000 BTC.

Many Bitcoin users are aware that Laszlo Hanyecz bought 2 Papa John's pizzas for 10,000 BTC in 2010. What's less known is that he kept his pizza offer open and in total purchased 8 pizzas for 40,000 BTC.

Anyone can confirm this information please.
