My dad would be polite for the first time and tell them they have the wrong number and even tell them the correct phone number. If the same dummy called right back he took the order. When they called after an hour of waiting looking for the pizza he told them to come down to the store and talk to the manager and he would give them two free pizzas of their choice. The pizza place closed down after about a year. Dad was not sorry to see it gone.
