Dartmouth Woman Finds Strange Single Slice of Pizza on Doorstep

What is it with strangers leaving the weirdest things on front porches?

Jessica from Dartmouth came home on Tuesday, March 11 to a truly bizarre sight, one that made her do a double take.

“This was just on my front steps. What the heck?” she said, sharing a photo of her welcome mat featuring a single, lonely slice of what appeared to be either linguica or bacon pizza sitting sadly atop an ultra-thin crust.

“Thanks for the slice, but I don’t take pizza from strangers," she said.

Naturally, the first question was: did her doorbell camera catch the culprit?

“I do have a camera,” she said. “But of course, it was dead. It’s on the charger now. First time it ever died, and I got a pizza slice on my doorstep. What are the chances? So weird.”

Jessica’s story immediately reminded me of my own mysterious food drop years ago.

On October 13, 2016, while living in the North End of New Bedford on Glennon Street, I woke up to a note and – of all things – three soft tacos sitting on my porch.

"QUESTION OF THE DAY: Who left this note and these tacos on my front porch?" I wrote on Facebook.

To this day, nearly nine years later, I still have no clue who left them, what kids and random food have to do with one another, or why they thought parting ways with Fun 107 required a farewell taco trio.

Jessica, I feel your pain.

Now, back to this pizza predicament. If anyone has intel on the rogue pizza dropper of Dartmouth, we need answers. Who just leaves a single slice on a stranger’s doorstep? And more importantly, why waste a perfectly good piece of pizza?

People are weird, and that’s fine – to a certain extent. But this? This takes the cake –or better yet, the slice.
