Pizza Delivery Drivers Describe An Unorthodox Delivery They’ve Once Made

Everyone loves a hot pizza, especially when it’s delivered straight to your door. Pizza delivery drivers may just be the great unsung heroes of our generation. They bring the people what they need no matter the weather, the time, or the neighborhood. But despite their ever-increasing importance in our lives, they don’t always get to see the best sides of the population.

Sometimes, people order pizzas when they’re not quite in their right minds. These drivers have seen it all: they’ve escaped near-certain death, they’ve witnessed chaos, and they’ve even saved lives. So read the stories, experience the highs and the lows, and seriously, tip your pizza delivery drivers. They really deserve more credit than they get.

#1 I Guess They Got Paid

My worst stop was pathetic, really. I knocked on the door and heard a kid yell, “I GOT IT!” He opened the door and ran up the stairs, yelling to his friends: “The pizza guy’s here! The pizza guy’s here!” A crowd of about eight pre-teens at the top of the stairs started throwing change down the stairs at me to pay for the delivery.

I asked if they could hand me the money, and they just laughed and kept throwing the change. So I picked up the bag of food and winged it up to them. It hit the wall, and I split. I told the boss what happened and that if they ever called to complain, I wouldn’t give them the time of day. I found out later that he did get a call and he told them to get stuffed. Good boss.

#2 Everything Is Fake

I delivered to an area outside of a town on a dirt road with tall trees. Every “house” was basically just plywood shacks. There were broken down cars and trash everywhere. The entire neighborhood just reeked of a B-horror film. I found the right house and walked up to the “door” which was actually just a doorway with a blanket covering it. I then yelled “Pizza!”

A haggard-looking man wearing boxers and a dirty white tank came to the door. Something felt wrong as he handed me a bill that looked like it had been washed. I held the $100, with old Ben Franklin’s face on it, up to the light and could clearly see Abe Lincoln on the paper. They had ordered around $50 worth of pizza and wanted change.

He tried convincing me that he went to the bank and they gave him that bill. I asked him why the wrong face was on there and he said that was how they did it. I didn’t accept the money and instead drove away with the food as fast as I could. We stopped taking orders from people who live in areas that don’t have street roads.

#3 So Awkward

Someone ordered pizzas to a funeral. There were A TON of people there, all somber and dressed in black while I rolled up in my bright red, greasy T-shirt. Definitely one of the most awkward experiences I’ve had. The one good thing about it was that I got tipped pretty nicely. I said my condolences and then got straight out of there.

#4 He Was Too Slow

My husband delivered a pizza to an older woman who ended up dying during the time it took for him to get there. He said he showed up as they were loading her up into an ambulance and the family was standing around watching. He didn’t know what to do, so he gave it to one of the family members (who paid for it) and left.
