For one, you don't have to worry about being put on hold. I am usually put on hold in the first few moments when I call in for pizza. Also, a web site makes it easier to see all the options and take as much time as you like without annoying staff. Now, website versus virtual world is a bit different. If I got a virtual pizza or branded content from the restaurant to take into inventory every time i ordered a real pizza, that may be cool. However, rite now, there are many user interface design issues that need to be addressed before virtual worlds overcome the web.

Neither of these projects ever went ahead, insofar as I'm aware, but if you google about you can find media reports that treat them as fait accompli - as if they had already happened.
