MIRAMAR, Fla. – Police say a pizza delivery man fought back with the one weapon he had handy when a gun was pulled on him in a stickup: A large, hot pepperoni pizza.

Delivery man Eric Lopez Devictoria, 40, flung the steaming pie at the gunman, buying time as he ran for safety, police said.

At least one shot was fired as Devictoria fled, but the deliveryman wasn't hurt and was able to quickly call police, according to authorities.

Three teenage suspects were nabbed soon after Wednesday's run-in with the cheesy weapon, police said, adding they were charged with armed robbery.

Last time I was carded:

Fulton Brewery

Minneapolis, MN

I was meeting friends out. I cam in with one younger friend, who got carded, then me. I asked if they carded everyone. He said no, "only people I think could be in their 20's". Oh happy day!

Smoky Mountain Brewery
Knoville, TN

I was traveling for work, and I was told this was a good brewpub. The food was okay, the beer was good, but the highlight was getting carded and getting a "I thought you could be close enough to check, hon." Yep, sometimes I miss living in the South.

Minnesota State Fair
St. Paul, MN

I was carded getting beer before the Weezer show. I didn't ask, but I thought they were carding everyone, until my friend Anne (who is younger than me) didn't get carded. It's a bit grey (like me), but I am going to say this one counts.

Tavern on France
Edina, MN

Was carded by the waitress before going to see "Tron: Legacy" on opening night (judge me if you must; I don't care). I checked to see if she carded everyone; she said she thought I could have been close. The streak continues....

I asked and I was told that she was not checking everyone. She thought I could be close to 21, but I think she was being nice. It was Friday and I think she read the stress, and I think she was doing this to be nice.
