Can I build a custom pizza topping selector with Food-Ordering.com?

Yes. Food-Ordering.com's modifier system supports custom topping builders with multiple selection types: single-choice selectors (crust type, size), multi-choice add-ons (topping selection with pricing per item), exclusion options (no sauce, no cheese), and quantity modifiers. These can be configured per product and combined to produce the pizza customisation experience customers expect from a direct ordering site.

Building a pizza customiser that converts

Pizza ordering requires a more complex product configuration than most takeaway categories — customers need to specify size, base, sauce, and toppings as separate decisions. Food-Ordering.com's modifier system handles this through layered option groups:

Size selection: 9", 12", 14" — single choice with price per size defined
Base/crust selection: Thin, deep pan, stuffed crust — single choice
Sauce selection: Tomato, white, BBQ — single choice
Toppings: Multi-select with individual topping pricing and maximum selection limits
Extras: Extra cheese, add-on dips, remove ingredients — configured as additional modifier groups

The modifier configuration is fully managed through the admin panel and does not require developer involvement to adjust.
