The whole reason I order online is to avoid using the phone. I usually find their website and see if they have their own online ordering. Smaller places often have online ordering provided by an unknown company that charges normal prices instead of having to mark it up to cover DoorDash fees.

Most of the places I've tried to order from directly still end up using door dash for the actual delivery. The only place where I've seen they actually send out their own driver is a Chinese restaurant near my house.

I’ve gotten drivers from the local pizza place using grubhub but sometimes would get a grubhub driver so at least with grubhub they must have a choice. That pizza place used to have their own online ordering but they sold the business so now they use slice which seems to charge a flat fee. I don’t think slice has their own drivers.

I really only ever order pizza from local places, I’d expect normal restaurants to not have their own drivers.
