Most of us know that if a stranger knocks on your door and tells you they’ve got the pizza you ordered but didn’t order one, you don’t answer the door. It’s an old trick, and if it ever happens to you, it can be terrifying. 

One woman was home alone with her dog when a man knocked on her door, claiming to have a pizza for her, and it sounds like an awful experience. 

She was watching TV at home one night and was alone with her dog. Around 11:00 pm, she heard a car pull up outside her house.

When she looked out her window, she noticed that the car had been parked across the street in front of her house and a man was sitting inside it. She figured it was one of her neighbors, so she didn’t think much of it and returned to watching TV.

A while later, she heard a strange, light tapping noise coming from her front door. She paused the TV, and the noise alerted her dog as well. Then, the sound started coming from her living room window. 

“I opened the blinds a little and saw a man standing there,” she recalled.

“I couldn’t make out his face properly, and he immediately walked back to the door and started tapping at it again. This doesn’t sound very frightening, and I’m not sure why, but I suddenly had a really awful feeling.”

She ran upstairs with her dog to try and ask the man what he wanted from a window so that she wouldn’t be standing right up against the door.

When she asked him what he wanted, he told her that he was delivering a pizza she had ordered and that she needed to answer the door and pay for it. He spoke in a hushed tone as if he didn’t want to alert her neighbors.

As the man spoke, her dog started growling and getting defensive, which he doesn’t usually do.

The man told her he “had the right address” and that she needed to get downstairs quickly because her food was getting cold.

However, he wasn’t holding a pizza box. He wasn’t carrying anything. 

She tried telling him that she didn’t order a pizza and that he had the wrong address to get him to go away. Then, his bad intentions started to show as he kept insisting that she go downstairs to pay for the pizza. His tone became angry, and he kept telling her the same things over and over again, trying to get her to open the door for him.

“My dog was really making quite a bit of fuss at this point, and the stranger had turned into a broken record,” she said. 

Finally, her next-door neighbor heard the commotion and opened his front door to see what was happening. Once the strange man saw the neighbor, he immediately took off. 

Since that night, she wondered why the strange man chose her house and why it was her neighbor and not her large barking dog that drove him away. Either way, it’s a good thing something finally spooked him.
