Pizza Hut has released an ordering app that allows users to purchase pizza (and wings and pasta) from their Xbox. Through the downloadable app, Pizza Hut for Xbox 360 enables Xbox Live subscribers in the U.S. to order from the full menu, including new products, straight from their Xbox Live dashboard. 

The Create Your Pizza app experience can be navigated via Kinect for Xbox 360 hand gestures and voice commands as well as the Xbox 360 controllers.

A Pizza Hut pizza was the first item ever purchased via the Internet in 1994.
