ChatGPT simulation of pizza ordering bot with contingency (2nd try)

Me: Simulate a long multi-turn dialog with a pizza ordering chatbot. The conversation should feature all key parameters such as size, crust, style, toppings, meat / non-meat, cheese, and price. Tell the customer about any special deals or specialties. Upsell with suggestions for drinks, sides etc. Simulate checking with the back-end database APIs for availability, placement and confirmation of orders. Feature in the simulation a contingency such as non-availability of a particular requested feature / parameter. Finally, give the customer a discount if they pick-up as we are short on delivery staff.
