  • Pizza Delivery Goes WAY Wrong: Man Gets Robbed At Gunpoint Of $23 Worth Of Pizza

    A pizza delivery man found himself face-to-face with a loaded weapon when he attempted to make a delivery in Tauranga, New Zealand.

    Though it’s not unusual for pizza delivery guys to get involuntarily relieved of their cash, the circumstances of this particular robbery were rather unusual.

    It seems that someone out there wanted pizza.

    REALLY wanted pizza.

    Apparently this person lacked the cash necessary to pay for it.

    Undeterred, the famished young man called up the local pizza place and ordered. Altogether, the food ordered reportedly cost about $23.

    When the delivery person arrived at the address, a young man described as in his early twenties answered the door.

    He was armed with a handgun.

    The would-be pizza thief demanded that the delivery man hand over the food.

    Rather than comply, the delivery guy turned and ran as far away from the customer and his gun as possible.

    Shortly after fleeing, the pizza delivery man contacted the authorities.

    The Tauranga police responded and the attempted robber was taken into custody at about 11:00 pm

    Following the incident, an official was left to guard the scene after the gunman was taken away for questioning.

    The police interrogation will no doubt include questions as to how he thought he was going to get away with relieving a pizza delivery man of $23 worth of food after calling the man to his home address.

    It certainly seemed like one of those ideas that somehow seemed good, but then the application left something to be desired.

    This is actually not the most bizarre pizza-related robbery incident around.

    Some may remember the story of Brian Wells, a pizza delivery man who robbed a bank with an explosive device tied around his neck.

    The device later exploded, killing him.

    Wells had claimed that he was forced to rob the bank by someone who put a bomb around his neck.

  • Pizza Delivery Results In the Tip of a Lifetime for One Domino’s Driver

    An Indiana Domino’s Pizza delivery man’s work day started like every other day last Wednesday, but ended up to be a day that he will likely never forget.

    James Gilpin was surprised with a $1200 tip after he delivered pizza to a group of generous college students.

    At Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, students gather each week at 10 a.m. for worship. Last Wednesday, the president of the residential campus, Dr. Keith Newman, challenged the more-than-3,000 students to “do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.”

    “Dr. Newman started off kind of praying, like, ‘lord, let this be a good service even though it’s going to be very untraditional.’ He had this idea, it was a quote from Andy Stanley, and the basic premise is do for one what you wish you could do for everyone. If you can’t bless the entire world, at least care about somebody who is right next to you,” said IWU Chaplain Charlie Alcock.

    The students began the challenge by writing an inspirational note, while Dr. Newman asked to have some pizza delivered.

    “He asked the lady to go and order pizza. At first I thought we were all going to get pizza, but then as he began to talk about it, he revealed that he would be bringing the guy on stage, and we were going to bless him with an offering.”

    So the students took up an offering as the unsuspecting James Gilpin made his way to the college with two hot pizzas.

    “When James, the guy who actually delivered the pizzas, walked into the building, they brought him right on stage, and at that point said, ‘you know what, thank you for all that you do, thank you for, you know, you doing what you do, and we want to say, you matter,’” said Alcock.

    “When I walked up to him and he started talking to me, I was wondering what was going on,” said delivery driver James Gilpin.

    The unsuspecting Gilpin was offered a piece of cake, a sack full of notes, and the biggest surprise of all.

    “He gave him a tip of a little over $1200,” said Alcock.

    Actually, the total amount collected added up to a whopping $1268.

    Gilpin said he planned to use the money to help provide a nice Christmas for his five and six-year-old kids.
