Flaffing about 

Doing a thing that should in principle be simple and straightforward but is needlessly a pain in the ass.

Undertaking activity to achieve a goal that is needlessly finicky, tedious, or pernickety.

Stop flaffing about trying to order using the app and just go next door and order the pizza.
