For those who don't know Sabbath is Friday-Saturday. Sunday was change by man. The Catholic Church changed it around 300 AD. To Sundays, so that they wouldn't be like the Jewish people. It’s OK to order pizza on those days. For it states that the person in the home shouldn’t be working which includes cooking, but must prepare the food before the Sabbath and warm it up when its time to eat. (This can included food in a crock pot) just like the story of Moses and the manna. For Sabbath is a day of rest.......
Exo 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein.
Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Exo 16:27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.
Exo 16:28 And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Exo 16:29 See, for that Jehovah hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Exo 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Calendar then and now have changed, as day light saving was man made by Ben Franklin. So was the current calendar compared to the time of Jesus from BC to the time of AD
Also to the commit made by one about follow Jesus and not the 10 commandments, well you need to read his word again for Jesus was here to teach how to interpret the old, not to write new rules. Not to replace the law, for he even said he was there to teach of his fathers words (old testament) for he quotes from it many times. But as in any history even the Jewish people over time have twisted it’s meaning or had ignored his words to follow the ways of sin. He was here to helping them out of sin.
I am a Christian, but I believe in much of the old for without the old the coming of the messiah wouldn’t be known. I have studied both the new and Old Testament in classes that focused both in historical and biblical facts, which are not all started in the bible, but also the bibles backed up facts of certain political figures of those time periods.

the commandments are for all that are grafted into the vine- they are not, however, for your salvation, nor will they earn you any brownie points in heaven. They are for you living a blessed and set apart life here and that is for the Jew and the gentile.
As far as ordering a pizza on the Sabbath, if you are going to honor the Sabbath as a day of rest, one of the ways of doing that is not to conduct business, buy or sell on the Sabbath.
Even amongst the Jews there are various 'rules' and guidelines for celebrating Shabbat properly- God is more interested in the heart attitude. If you remember that the Sabbath is for man and not for God, not for your pleasure but for your spiritual refreshing, and you are committed to observing, allowing yourself to be set apart and being obedient, the Holy Spirit will give guidance on how you should honor Shabbat.

Because if you keep the Sabbath, you cannot buy or sell there within that day. Ordering a pizza would be buying.

If you are really going to keep the Sabbath command, then it would be sinful for you to pay someone else to work for you on the Sabbath day...which would be from dusk on Friday to dusk on Saturday. So, wait, and order your pizza after sunset.

Mark 2:27 "the sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath" Jesus performed miracles on the sabbath. It is called legalism. The pharisees were very good at legalism, and Jesus called them vipers.
I think we need to observe a day of rest, because God gave it as a benefit to us, but we can't get legalistic as to pick a specific day. Every day is the Lords. We need to honor Him with all of them.

If you are Jewish, it has to do with the fact that the food needs to be made before the sabbath.

"but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates." (Exodus 20:10 NKJV)
Ordering pizza would be makeing a servant work for you.

Accept Yeshua as your Messiah, and you can order pizza any day of the week, and you get heaven to boot!
