Don't know which one is line 42; but I'd bet your problem is there.
As a rough guess, it might be the line that says:
  pizza_cost = pizzatype[menu]

You're bounding that to the range 1-5.  A Python list of length 5 has
indices 0-4.

But the error message is telling you everything you need to know; you're
trying to get a list index that's out of range in line 42. Find line
42, figure out what index you're asking it for, and you'll have your
answer. If you don't have an editor that shows you line numbers then
your editor is fundamentally terrible and you should not use it (I
personally like Notepad++ for Windows or Geany for Linux).
