It sounds like something from the plot of Fat Pizza.

I guess he did get some cash for it, which could fund heroin purchases. I wonder if the long term plan was to actually buy heroin with pizzas though? Druggies tend to lose their appetite dont they?
I think I read somewhere that drug dealers were starting to want payments in gold rather than $US, which is not a good sign for the strength of that currency.

A MAN was promised free pizza for life in return for burning down a rival’s pizzeria in Melbourne, a court has heard.

Frank John Foschini, 35, torched Papa John’s pizza parlour in Clayton four years ago, dousing it in petrol and setting off an explosion that blew him off his feet as he fled the scene.

The County Court heard Foschini, the brother of former Saints and South Melbourne footballer Silvio, pocketed $800 from a restaurant owner who also offered him free pizza for eliminating his competitor.

Foschini had no beef with Papa John’s owner, John Yakub, whom he had never met, but accepted the job to finance his heroin habit…...

Oh come on at least combine the 2.  In my little bfe town there was a pizza place that would not only diliver your pizza but your drugs too.  And people wrote checks for their drugs (this floored me, since my drugs of choice are caffine and alcohol).
