Of course, you could always go with...
"Brooklyn Style Pizza"...
or "Chicago Deep Dish"...
or "St. Louis Supreme"...
or "Pizza-Quick"...
or "Pizza Market"...
or "Pizza Paradise"...
or "Pizza Kashif"...

Are you living in the US? Or are you opening this business in Pakistan?

If you`re here in the States, you could make a play on the English language by saying:

If I HAD to choose a name from your list it would be "Hot Bites". I added an "S" on the end because you will most likely have more than one item on your menu.

You mentioned that this would be a business for take out and delivery, but did not specify if there would be a sit-down area in your pizza shop. If not, how about something like "Pies To Go" or something that says you can pick up or have your pizza delivered. Although you should realize this type of name would restrict you from opening a sit-down restaurant in the future.

Good luck with choosing a name.

Greetings,

My suggestions is to keep is simple -- like:

Slice -- Pizza by the Pie or Slice.........

or

Roadside Pizza and Grill

PizzaMia

If you sell Pasta dishes too -- maybe Pastabilities

Hope these help -- Great Success to you!!

I always thought Pizza2.go  might be catchy...it says what you sell and how you sell it plus it ties in a bit with the whole internet idea of speed and availability.

How about
"Slice & Dice Pizza" or "Red Lips - Pizza delivery" or "Red Mustache Pizzeria?"

I agree with Nick`s first comment. I think it would be cool to play up the Pakistani aspect of your business. With so many pizza places around, a catchy name might not be sufficient to help someone remember you. Personally, I like something along the lines of

The Pakistani Pizza Man

"I come all the way from Pakistan to bring you my pizza"

You could have a lot of fun with a logo, colors, mascot (the P.P.Man), and music that identifies your brand. I think it would even be good to come up with unusual spices and toppings that would be available and create a whole new pizza experience. Keep the popular standard toppings, but also add creative menu items that emphasize the Pakistani aspect of your business. I think it would be a great draw to people who want to try something new. This story would also make a great press release for your local news station - you should find someone who can help you with that.

I`m vegetarian, myself, and I`d certainly be up for a Pakistani-style pizza. How far do you deliver, Kashif?  

 Hi, Kashi, best of luck to you with your new business! I notice that except for "Hot Slice", none of the names make one think of Pizza. You, of course, would know better than I would what people in your country will associate with pizza, so I can only suggest American names. Like "Pepperoni Palace", or "Slice of Life", Slice of Heaven". Of the ones you mention, I would definitely go with "Hot Slice". Liz
