Have a nice trip - see you...IN JAIL (said that in my best action hero voice). Check this out:

Police in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania . . . just outside of Philadelphia . . . got a tip from a pizza delivery driver on a suspect.  Actually, not a tip . . . a TRIP.

On Sunday afternoon, the police were chasing after a suspected car thief, when the suspect jumped out of the car and fled on foot down a sidewalk.

He was running toward a pizza delivery man named Tyler who was holding a pizza he was delivering nearby.

Tyler realized what was going on . . . and he stuck out his leg and TRIPPED the suspect.  The thief hit the ground, and the cops nabbed him.

Tyler later said he got a nasty bruise on his leg, but he'll survive.  He said the police were very appreciative, and were high-fiving him afterward.  The police chief said it was a crazy coincidence . . . and it did work out this time . . . but he warned that people should step aside safely, and let the police handle it.

And since we're talking pizza - quick reminder that Detroit is one of the best pizza cities in America!

A new ranking has one Michigan city listed as the very best in the entire country for getting that cheesy, saucy pizza.

The staff at AnyTimeEstimate.com has given Detroit the No. 1 ranking in the United States based on 2022 data. The online real estate calculator put together its “definitive list of the best cities for pizza” by analyzing publicly available U.S. business data from the 50 largest metro areas in the country.

“To create a definitive list of the best cities for pizza, we analyzed publicly available U.S. business data, Census data, economic and labor statistics, and Google Trends data, as well as findings from Thrillist, Pizza Today, Expensivity, and Menu With Price,” they state in the study. Put all of that together, and they have Detroit as No. 1.

“Detroit is the best pizza city in the U.S.,” they state in the study. “The Motor City boasts the most independent pizza restaurants per capita (6 per 100,000 residents) out of any city on our list. Detroit ranks No. 1 in ‘pizza passion’ — in other words, locals are searching Google for an extra large variety of pizza styles.” Now that we have the best city for pizza settled, let’s debate about toppings. I’m a cheese-only kind of girl, since I don’t eat meat, but my guess is that pepperoni and cheese is the most popular combination for pizza across America. Either way, next time you’re in Detroit, here’s an excuse to grab yourself a hot, saucy slice of pizza, no matter the toppings.
