Thank you very much for this very interesting and enlightening series. I have learned so much.
I live in eretz yisroel and anytime we order pizza it never comes with a seal. The delivery guy can sometimes be shomer shabbos but many times not, it can even be an Arab. I'm now presuming that we cannot order pizza but rather go and pick it up. Is this correct? 
P.s. there is no way they would have patience for a back and forth with pictures for tvias ayin, they would think we are absolutely bonkers!p
