I was wondering if anyone here could please help me find this show I would sometimes watch as a kid. It was live-action and mostly focused on some kids who had this special computer. At the end of each episode, a flamboyant villain on the computer would challenge the kids with questions relating to the episode’s theme.
The only specific storyline I remember had a girl left home alone with enough money from her parents for a small, plain personal pizza. A boy comes over, who I think was her brother who was supposed to be somewhere else or a neighbor as she didn’t seem happy he was there, and convinces her to order from a cheap seafood pizza fusion place so they can get a pizza big enough for both of them with toppings. The delivery guy, who I think had a hook for a hand and talked like a pirate, got lost so they guided him through their computer, which allowed them to see from his point of of view. He winds up going to space and through the ocean before getting to their house. The pizza is gross with a squid on it and makes the girl wince, but the boy likes it.
Does anyone here know what this is? I believe I saw it in the mid-to-late 90s. Thanks.
The closest thing I can think of is the show "Ghost Writer". Although, I don't recall a guy with a hook for a hand, the kids do eat pizza and the ghost often communicates through their computer. I hope that helps, good luck on your search.

Clicky The Robot? Its from 2001 but still close.
CyberChase? The time lines up perfectly.

This show sounds like it could have aired during PBS Kids. Have you looked through their catalog of shows they've aired?
Cyberchase aired on PBS kids.
Cyberchase doesn't fit OP's description. It isn't live action and it never aired during the '90s. If anything it sounds more like Ghostwriter, which doesn't seem right either.

Oh I didn't see that part. Now that he says that though I know this show called Colby's Place. It has multiple episodes. The one below doesn't match, but a point of reference.
1) It didn’t have a laugh track and was a single-camera kind of show. 2) The only other story I have any clear memory of involved a young boy feeling left out by the other kids and a cartoon dinosaur appeared on the computer screen offering to be his friend in an calm but kind of ominous voice.I don’tbremember how that storyline turned out. 3) During one of the segments where the villain challenged them with questions, he asked “We all know Neil Armstrong was the first person on the moon, but who was second?” in a smug voice.
I might be wrong about this, but I mostly remember it just being two boys and a girl using a computer in this room with other characters occasionally stopping by. It might have just been a framing device for educational shorts, but I’m not sure.
