Dana'an:
I'm asking this because I understand the klingon as "yesterday, as soon as I'm hungry, I have ordered a pizza", meaning that I "feel" it very close to "yesterday, as soon as I'm hungry, I've (already) ordered a pizza".
Perhaps you could say wa'Hu' jIghungchoHDI', wejHa' pItSa' vIvunpu'. to make clear that you have ordered the pizza as of becoming hungry. I think your suggestion (wa'Hu' jIghungDI', pItSa' vIvunpu') might work given the correct context, but may also be unclear without context.

Ok, thanks. I understand so far. But there's something else I've started to wonder.
Suppose I say: {wa'Hu' jIghungDI', pItSa' vIvunpu'}, for "yesterday, as soon as I was hungry, I ordered a pizza".
Doesn't this give you the impression that my ordering the pizza happened before I was hungry?
