How to Order Hot Pizza from Whole Foods? (Step-by-Step)

At Whole Foods, you can buy some tasty hot fresh pizzas. These pizzas include a variety of toppings and can be modified for vegetarian, and vegan guests. Many customers enjoy the transparent ingredients and allergy-safe policies that Whole Foods is known for.

Ordering a hot pizza for pickup or delivery from Whole Foods can be done through the Whole Foods Market App. However, you must be an IOS user to use their app and a current Amazon Prime member for discounts, also the app is only available in the USA.

Ordering Whole Foods in locations where the app is not available simply call the location to see if they offer pizza ordering services, or if they work with any delivery apps.

Anyway, here is your comprehensive guide for how to order your Whole Foods pizza for the next party or occasion, and I will also tell you what they are made out of.

Who Can Order Hot Pizza from Whole Foods?

Whole Foods was acquired by Amazon, a decision that has meant big changes in its policies. Hot and ready foods to-go are now available to order by Prime Members. Additionally, their mobile app is only currently available on IOS in certain countries. You cannot order from Whole Foods App on an Android or if you live in Canada.

If the App is not available for download you may still be able to order groceries or a fresh pizza on your phone using a delivery app. It depends if there are any delivery apps working with Whole Foods for that specific location.

Just to remind you, Whole Foods always has fresh slices ready for pickup so if you can’t order it for pickup you can simply order one in store or just buy a handful of slices. And they also sell all the fresh ingredients to make a home made pizza. So you do have plenty of pizza options!

How Big is a Hot Pizza from Whole Foods?

A hot-and-ready Whole Foods pizza is 18 inches. This is a large pizza size since a standard large pizza is only 14 inches in diameter. Often they cut it into 6 or 8 slices per pizza, and the slices are good size. Feel free to ask them not to cut it, or to cut it into more or less pieces.

Pizza Processing Time (How Long to Wait)

One of the most important details to consider when ordering food is how long it will take. Whole Foods pizzas will take anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours to be ready after ordering. This will depend on how busy your location is and how you order the pizza.

If you order in person it will likely take much less time, like 15-20 minutes, ordering through the app you may have longer waiting time, and if you order for delivery you may have extended wait based on delivery availability.

However, after ordering, a screen in the app will display the estimated ready-by time, and a delivery time if that’s what your chose.

Ordering Whole Foods Pizza in the UK

In the UK Whole Foods works with a delivery company named Deliveroo. You can simply download the app and order the pizza following the simple ordering process or you can order through the website.

Ordering Whole Foods Pizza in Canada

The app is not available in Canada as it will not let me download it in my location, and there are 6 Whole Foods around me. Funny, I know. Do not download the fake app in the app store for $1, it is a scam and you can’t buy anything off the app, it only shows store locations.

To order pizza at our Whole Foods locations in Canada you need to call and order for pickup. Unfortunately in Canadian Whole foods locations that offer pizza there is no delivery options available.
