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.
“When a delivery driver was arrested during a traffic stop, our officers made sure the pizza still got to the customer. The order was Hot-N-Ready, and the suspect was Caught-N-Steady,” the department shared 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.
A GrubHub spokesperson told Fox News Digital they are grateful to the officers for finishing the delivery, but concerned about the driver’s arrest.
“We give a whole-hearted ‘thank you’ to the officers for going the extra mile to deliver this order to our customer. It’s a testament to the Tempe Police Department’s remarkable commitment to the community,” the statement read. “But we were troubled to hear about the incident leading up to the officers’ delivery, and suspended the driver account associated with the order. ”
