Flytrex and Little Caesars kicked off a drone delivery pilot in Wylie, Texas, using the Sky2 drone to deliver up to two large 16-inch pizzas plus drinks within a four-mile radius.

live availability remains limited to select markets for now, with plans to roll the service out to more cities over time.

The drone-delivery sector is expanding rapidly, with competitors like Wing, Manna, and Amazon already moving forward, and Wing having completed more than 750,000 deliveries while Manna has at least 250,000.

Flytrex has completed over 200,000 U.S. deliveries, mainly in North Carolina, and aims to scale nationwide to the 37 largest U.S. metro areas, potentially reaching over 100 million people.

The Sky2 is an octocopter capable of delivering a full family meal without landing, lowering the package from hover via a wire and carrying up to 8.8 pounds.

Executives describe the pilot as a significant step toward on-demand, scalable drone-based food delivery, emphasizing speed and accessibility.

The system uses AI-enabled flight logic with GNSS real-time centimeter-level positioning, dual-battery power, and can carry up to two large pizzas and a 20-ounce drink per delivery.

Delivery begins with an in-app order within Flytrex’s four-mile radius, a direct POS integration with Little Caesars, curbside remote pickup, autonomous flights averaging about 4.5 minutes from takeoff to delivery, and a drop-zone handoff.
