Tempe police officers are earning praise online after stepping in to complete a Grubhub delivery—right after arresting the original driver during a traffic stop.
In a moment that’s both surprising and oddly heartwarming, bodycam footage shared by the Tempe Police Department shows two uniformed officers walking up to a local home, pizza in hand, to deliver an order that had almost gone undelivered.
“So your Grubhub guy got arrested…”
The video, now viral, was posted to X (formerly Twitter) with the cheeky caption: “When your Grubhub driver gets arrested… Tempe Police Delivers.”
The footage shows the officers approaching a home and knocking on the door. A woman named Brandy answers, clearly expecting her food—not law enforcement.
“How are you doing? Brandy?” one officer asks.
“Yes…” she replies, confused.
The officer then explains: “So your Grubhub guy got arrested, so we still delivered your pizza.” Brandy is stunned silent for a moment before laughing in disbelief.
“It should still be warm,” one officer adds, lightening the mood.
Brandy, smiling, replies, “I really appreciate the pizza,” as the officers hand over the box and walk off.
“Hot-N-Ready, Caught-N-Steady”
Tempe PD added a playful touch to their post: “The order was Hot-N-Ready, and the suspect was Caught-N-Steady. We’re committed to serving our community 24/7—whether it’s safety or pizza delivery!”
According to local reports, the Grubhub driver was taken into custody on charges of reckless driving and street racing.
Social media reacts
Reactions to the video have been largely positive, with many applauding the officers for going the extra mile.
“What a surprise it would be to see these policemen at your door with pizza!” one commenter wrote.
“These patrol officers are such nice young guys. They really find thoughtful ways to serve the community,” another added.
The light-hearted delivery detour offered a rare moment of levity—and a hot slice of goodwill—in an otherwise routine arrest.Viral video shows Arizona cops delivering pizza after arresting GrubHub driver: ‘We’re committed’
