Ordering by US credit card in London

Very likely you can't solve this problem. The online merchant very likely uses an AVS authorization because the fees are lower this way.While it is possible to run an authorization without AVS (for example entering 99999 into a New York City MTA ticket vending machine triggers this -- however that's a "card present" authorization from an entity which has slightly bigger transaction volume than your average pizza parlor so it has better chances of negotiating good rates on card acceptance) it depends on what sort of agreement exists between the online vendor and the gateway. You can of course use the delivery address and hope the pizza place only runs the card number - expiry date (and likely the CVV2 code) and not AVS. There's little harm in trying really (a hold might stay on your card for a few days if it fails but let's hope the price of the pizza won't push you over the credit limit).
