Usually when you hear about drones being used to deliver dinner, it ends up being too good to be true (Tacocopter or Burrito Bomber, anyone?). But an Italian restaurant in Mumbai isn’t kidding when it says it’s delivered pizza via drone, and it has video to prove it.
Francesco’s Pizzeria flew a pizza from it’s Lower Parel location to a customer hanging out on the roof of a skyscraper about a mile away.
A video shows the pizza being made and attached to a tiny drone with four propellers, which then carries it above some kids playing cricket, along the Arabian Sea front and through skyscrapers to the rooftop.

I pick C, Fabricated. Don't be so naïve.
I've had a rethink. If you mounted the battery in the box with the pizza they would help to keep it hot. Also if you inverted the pizza in the box the cheese would glue it to the lid and it wouldn't move around too much, not sure if this would work with the half fat cheese some places use.
This is another ugly discrimination against burgers that are never drone delivered!
Still doesn`t look as cool as the Domicopter :)

I think this is yet another example of "drone delivers box for marketing stunt" not actually delivering pizza!
I'd bet that box is probably empty. Apart from the cooling effect of the rotors due, in part,to the lack of insulated bag I'd expect the pizza sliding around to cause stability issues :)
i believe so - the GPS antenna is a give away
i'd be concerned, theres a naza on board ;)
It was a marketing video when got interpret by the cops in completely other way now all the security agency and civil aviation authority are behind them seeking explanation.
This in turn has waken up the government to start thinking about regulation for UAV in Indian airspace
