Delivering a pizza is a normal procedure for any pizza chain. Domino's delivers more than a million pizzas daily, to all corners of the globe. But to Pizza Hut “the globe” was just another limitation that needed to be broken in the name of delivering tasty food.
So in 2001 they went ahead and delivered one to motherfuckin' space.
The delivery was the result of months of collaboration between the pizza chain and Russian food scientists. They had the challenge of not only crafting a pizza that would survive the trip into space, but was still edible when it arrived; since historically space food has been about as good as Oreos covered in salsa.
The end result was a pizza with some normal, and some rather unusual ingredients. While the crust, pizza sauce, and cheese were all there, the pizza was topped with salami instead of the usual pepperoni. That, and a shit-ton of salt since in space the only way humans apparently taste things is by an all out assault on our mouths.
Once the food scientists were reasonably assured that the pizza didn't taste like a turd covered prune, they loaded the 6 inch pizza into a Russian resupply rocket and blasted it up to the ISS to the tune of $1 million.
The entire venture ended up being totally worth it for one picture of a smiling cosmonaut eating a floating pizza:

And you thought airline food was bad.

Domino's replied by announcing plans for the first pizza store on the moon.
