                     + "\nSauce: " + cmboSauce.GetItemText(cmboSauce.SelectedItem) +
                    "\nToppings ($1.50 each): " + topings +
                    "\n\nPizza total: {0:C}" + pizzaTotal +
                    "\n\nDrink selection: " +
                    "\n\t" + sodaTotal + " soda(s)" +
                    "\n\t{0:C}" + waterTotal + " water(s)" +
                    "\nDrink Total: {0:C}" + drinksTotal +
                    "\n\nSpecialty Items: " + specialtyMessage +
                    "\nAmount Due: {0:C}" + billTotal +

                    "\n\t", sodaTotal, " soda(s)",
                    "\n\t{0:C}", waterTotal, " water(s)",
                    "\nDrink Total: {0:C}", drinksTotal,
                    "\n\nSpecialty Items: ", specialtyMessage,
                    "\nAmount Due: {0:C}", billTotal,
                    "\n\n Deliver to: ", txtBxName.Text, ", ", txtBxAddress.Text);
