How to order pizza with your smart speaker

Get Pizza Hut or Domino's delivered using just your voice

Any day you’re craving some pie, getting it fast is a must. If you have Alexa or Google Assistant, ordering your favorite pizza is just a few commands away. Here’s how to order two of the top brands using just your voice and a smart speaker, like Google Home or Echo Dot.

How to order Pizza Hut with a smart speaker

If Pizza Hut is your choice for hot slices, you can order using Alexa or Google Assistant. To order Pizza Hut using Alexa, you’ll first need to get the Pizza Hut skill. Click on Enable, then you’ll be taken to a screen to link your Pizza Hut account to your Alexa account. Once everything is linked, you can create a new order using Alexa, or reorder one of your previous orders. You can say, “Alexa, open Pizza Hut,” and “Alexa, ask Pizza Hut to place an order,” or “Alexa, ask Pizza Hut to reorder.”
