Officers' unexpected pizza delivery goes viral after holiday traffic stop arrest

A viral video shows a pair of police officers in Arizona helping finish a pizza delivery after the driver was arrested during a traffic stop.

“When your GrubHub driver is taken into custody… Tempe Police steps in,” read the caption accompanying the video shared by the Tempe Police Department on social networks.

The department shared the moment, which unfolded on July 4, that showed officers delivering the pizza to a visibly surprised customer. 

“Hello,” the shocked customer said when she opened her door to find two police officers with her pizza order.

The customer’s mouth dropped open when she realized what was happening.

“I really appreciate the pizza,” she said.

“It still should be warm,” the second officer added. 

The department shared the viral video on their X account as well. 

“After a delivery driver was detained during a traffic stop, our officers ensured the pizza was still delivered to the customer. The order was Hot-N-Ready, and the suspect was Caught-N-Steady,” the department mentioned in a post on X.

“We’re committed to serving our community 24/7—whether it’s safety or pizza delivery!” 

Authorities told Fox News Digital that the delivery driver was arrested on charges of reckless driving and racing.
