Pizza delivery (& other similar services) often have two postcode based constraints:
- A cost-based one, which might be what one expects - A franchise-based one. The individual franchisees get a delivery monopoly on given postcodes. Your postcode might not be in the franchise & they never persuaded anyone to buy the franchise area which contains the address. As long as no-one thinks we should map Pizza Hut franchise boundaries I think we're OK.
