MIRAMAR, Fla. – Police say a pizza delivery man fought back with the one weapon he had handy when a gun was pulled on him in a stickup: A large, hot pepperoni pizza.


Delivery man Eric Lopez Devictoria, 40, flung the steaming pie at the gunman, buying time as he ran for safety, police said.


At least one shot was fired as Devictoria fled, but the deliveryman wasn't hurt and was able to quickly call police, according to authorities.


Three teenage suspects were nabbed soon after Wednesday's run-in with the cheesy weapon, police said, adding they were charged with armed robbery.

This is a terrible post!

I just saw the words 'Large Pepperoni Pizza' at 4 o'clock in the morning . . .

The delivery dood should have called the Ninja Turtles instead.

It sounds like they were the robbers!
Hard to shoot a gun with three BIG ASS fingers. Now if the pizza boy was threatend with either a bo staff, nunchuk's, sai's or katana's, THEN we'd have a story!

I bet they looked like Pizza the Hut afterward. That's how the police knew who they were.

Aw... I thought this was something akin to a Jackie Chan fight. A guy can dream...

When I saw the thread title, I assumed that the guy worked at Domino's and fended hem off by letting them eat their terrible pizza.

The reporter got the story all wrong. I know the people involved, and the gunmen were actually killed with heart disease. The pizza was just a gun and cholesterol was the bullets.
