There's a good chance that apartment building has easy to find organized unit numbers that pizza delivery guy can understand. Building may even have multiple front entrances each with distinct addresses.

Once saw a (German) documentary about this building. They have drop-off places on the ground floor where delivery drivers leave their goods in locked boxes. Payment and and locking/unlocking of the box is done digitally through phone.
P.S.: This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgVXPEORuA0
Yeah, I've delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn't matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.
I didn't go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn't, their phone number was part of the information provided.
Can’t imagine the wait times for elevators at whatever the start/end of normal working hours must be.
I imagine with that many people there are restaurants and services within.
I am the pizza delivery boy.
Unfortunately he is tied up at Peach Trees, trying to deliver justice to Ma-Ma.
Am I the only one who worries first about trash collection day than pizza delivery (wildly unpopular in China btw)?
I'd assume the building has a trash collection chute. My old apartment building had one.
And if they don't, I'm sure that they'd have pickup schedules like any town would.
Imagine the condominium meetings
This might be better than most apartments I've lived in tbh, so it might work if looking out of the window and having the inescapable trap of modern life hit you in the face isn't a deal breaker for you
Is that a refrigerator in the living room, and a tv over the stove?
That third picture is either warped or the structural soundness of the building is questionable.
I think the balcony edge curves out into the room. The second pic from the loft bedroom kinda/sorta looks like it. Looks like crap with that straight railing though.

That's way more than the population of the whole town I live in.
Do they generally bring it to your door?
Where I live they just call you that they're waiting outside and wait for you to come pick it up. Same goes for delivery drivers. Sometimes they don't even leave the car.
That sucks. Ours come to the door. To me that's part of the point, you don't want to leave your home, so you order something, right?
What a bunch of lazy fucks.
Probably not that man for the food deliverer. High density implies having more than 1 order and there are likely many entrances and building numbers.
I would be surprised if there weren’t several shops dedicated to the building.
Probably a whole mall on the lower floors and vending machines amd shid

Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?
Because that's exactly what we've created.
It's a matter of perspective and use
high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.
I'd much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.
Until your neighbor starts up with the gimp suit and webcam show again...
I'd also prefer something denser than suburban sprawl, but I think there's a balance point between that and what the post is showing.
I think that 3-5 story apartments with shops underneath are the best ones, because they aren't too dense while also not wasting space.
Make those with decent construction so every cough and sneeze isn't broadcasted to all of your neighbors with good design so it's disability friendly, and that is the dream right there.
Yeah, love me a elevator. Especially as a delivery driver (rider?).
Could be it's own city.

High precision cannon modified to launch pizza boxes ... then just park it about half a kilometer in front of the building.
- Launch a ball of dough against a designated target at the correct speed for it to flatten out on impact
- Borrow modern artillery targeting systems so that a ball of toppings impacts the same spot a moment afterwards
- Fire a HESH round to cook it
Tactical ballistic pizza? Count me in. Sounds reckless and delicious.
Communications personnel receive order ... they quickly process it to the gun crew
Gun crew load first round: .... 15TH FLOOR!!!! APARTMENT 1567!!!! KITCHEN WINDOW SECOND TO RIGHT!!!!!! ....... FIRE!!!!!!!
Gun recoils ... crew prepare second round: ...... SAUCE!!!! ... PEPPERONI!!! HAM!!! PEPPERS!!!!! ANCHOVIES!!!! .... CHEESE!!! EXTRA CHEESE!!!!! .... (prepared round is loaded into gun) ..... FIRE!!!!!
Gun recoils ... crew load HESH round: ...... COMPLETE THE ORDER!!!!! ..... FIRE!!!!!!!!
Gun crew grows silent for a moment .... there is a distant explosion of an apartment completely blow out on the 15th floor.

If I search the name, half the articles say 20k, other half 30k. Honestly, I have serious doubts about both figures...
Snopes has an article on it, and even they couldn't come up with a solid number.
