Maybe it’s time to take a break, [Ross and Rachel style](http://friends.wikia.com/wiki/We%5FWere%5FOn%5FA%5FBreak "undefined"). Second, this giant [Microsoft PixelSense](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/pixelsense/default.aspx "undefined")\-style touchscreen table looks like a fun way to order a custom-made pizza. We’ll have to overlook that the table appears to treat the iPhone as an [NFC-enabled device](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near%5Ffield%5Fcommunication "undefined") (it is not), and my dream since I’ve been old enough to dream has been a button that would summon the server to the table for a refill. I drink ’em faster than they pour ’em. I wouldn’t object to just having a pop (it’s pop — not soda) fountain built right into the booth itself. So when will you see such a fancy table in your local Pizza Hut? When will you actually go and sit down to eat at your local Pizza Hut? I can’t answer the second question, and even the first question has something of a murky response: Pizza Hut’s YouTube page simply implies that this “could be the future of the Pizza Hut dine-in ordering experience.” [Pizza Hut + Chaotic Moon Studios Interactive Concept Table](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvT0MCugb58 "undefined") \[YouTube via [Kotaku](http://kotaku.com/the-unlikely-future-of-ordering-at-pizza-hut-1535940235 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/12300/pizza-hut-eyes-fancy-touchscreen-pizza-ordering-tables/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/12300/pizza-hut-eyes-fancy-touchscreen-pizza-ordering-tables/"},"headline":"Pizza Hut Eyes Fancy Touchscreen Pizza-Ordering Tables","datePublished":"2014-03-04T15:05:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:38.851Z","description":"Side note: The couple in this video don't seem all that happy to be together.
