In my days running SF Perl Mongers, I liked BKK Thai: http://bit.ly/iIgSV

Pros: they deliver on time, and they have yummy food (Including a
surprisingly good tofu satay).

Cons: they might be a little more expensive than pizza; I don't
remember exactly. Their curries are kinda soupy, so you need plastic
plates or better (no, they don't provide them). Ordering is by phone
into a loud environment, so be sure you have a good connection.

Hope this helps,
