As if putting the pizza on the doorstep instead of handing it to you will make any difference.

This is just one example of what happens when people panic and rush to make up stupid idiotic "solutions". It's just as useless as Jim Bakker's fake coronavirus cure that he got slapped for.

It's actually a good safety measure. It doesn't do a lot to protect you from the pizza guy unless the first thing you do is disinfect the pizza box, but it does a lot to protect the pizza guy from you. The fewer people the pizza guy contacts the less likely he is to be infected and thus the less likely to give you the bug along with your pizza.

Quit thinking only of yourself, short of total isolation the best protection everyone has is to minimize the spread in society. The fewer sick people the less likely you are to encounter one.
