Pizza Delivery Gone Wrong: A Rant, a Spit, and a 2‑Year Prison Clock
In a twist that could have taken the form of a cinematic nightmare, a delivery driver in Turkey has been handed a two‑year custodial sentence after allegedly plunging a bite of pizza—yes, that pizza—under his arm and laughing on camera as he did it.
What Exactly Happened?
- Inciting Incident: The drama unfolded in 2017 in the heart of central Anatolia, the city of Eskisehir.
- Witness: A security cam in an apartment block caught the unwanted act: Burak S., the delivery man, slurring his words while dropping a spit onto a pizza.
- Documentation: In a bizarre move, he recorded the whole affair on his mobile phone—perhaps hoping for a viral TikTok moment or an insurance show‑stopper.
- Motivation Mystery: No clear reason was given. Was it a prank? A misguided attempt at a toothpaste test? The case statue remains blissfully blank.
Defender’s Dilemma
During the Tuesday hearing, Burak S. cried foul: “I didn’t spit on the pizza,” he told the court, demanding a clean bill of health.
But the judge was not in the mood for drama. He penalized the culprit with charges that read like a cookbook gone wrong: “damaging property” and “poisoning food and endangering people’s health.” Result? A sentence of two years and six months.
The Chain of Events
- The building owner, while casually scrolling through security footage, spotted the spitting spectacle.
- Realizing the seriousness, he alerted the unsuspecting pizza consumer, who froze at the pizza-damaging moment.
- The authorities, riding on the evidence, filed a criminal complaint.
Final Verdict (And a Mismatch of Flavor)
Turkey’s legal system smelled of justice and lunch today, but the pizza remains untouched by a seasoned feud. Meanwhile, Burak S. is sentenced to a hospital — not the one for tasty toppings, but a very different one.
As for the pizza, one wonders if it was given a second chance or if the scent of health-wrecking remains in the air. The only lesson we can learn is: Don’t spit on your order, even if you think it will boost your delivery skills.
