In a bizarre turn of events on Tuesday evening, a local man from Springfield found himself dialing the pizza delivery hotline not for an order, but for an entirely different kind of emergency. Jeremy Wilkins, 34, reportedly called to report that one of the pepperoni slices on his freshly delivered pizza had begun to sing, and he needed help immediately.
According to the transcript obtained by our reporters, Jeremy’s call went something like this: “Hello, yes, I just received my order, but there’s something wrong. One of your pepperoni slices won’t stop belting out show tunes. It started with ‘Defying Gravity’ from Wicked, and now it’s switched to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ I’ve tried to listen politely, but it’s disrupting my family’s dinner.”
The customer service representative, Lisa, initially thought it was a prank. However, when Jeremy insisted he was serious, she escalated the ticket to the “Unusual Pizza Incidents” department—a division never before confirmed to exist. “We get all sorts of calls,” Lisa admitted, “but this was definitely a first. I half expected a pepperoni slice to start demanding royalties.”
Attempts to troubleshoot included suggestions like moving the pepperoni elsewhere on the pizza or putting it in the microwave. Jeremy humorously reported that the pepperoni continued its Broadway set regardless, attracting curious glances from his cat and neighbors through the window.
By the end of the call, the helpdesk arranged a complimentary replacement pizza and assured Jeremy that their quality control team would “investigate the possible supernatural seasoning.” The ticket was closed with the status: “Singing pepperoni contained and remedied.”
When asked for comment, Jeremy said, “It was actually kind of entertaining. I’m secretly hoping the next one sings ‘Let It Go.’ At least then I can sing along.”
The pizza chain has since released a statement denying any tampering with their products and promising to “keep our toppings as quiet as possible.” Whether this marks the beginning of a new musical food trend or just a very talented slice of meat remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Jeremy is reportedly considering entering the singing pepperoni into local talent shows, much to the chagrin of his family’s usual dinner routine.
