Pizza is great — it's versatile, easy, delicious, and it can even save lives:

A police dispatcher who took a call from a woman ostensibly trying to order a pizza realized that the caller was surreptitiously alerting her that she was in danger of domestic violence, and by playing along, enabled officers to rush to the rescue within minutes, Israel Police said Thursday. ...

In a recording of the call published by police Thursday, the dispatcher appears to immediately catch on to what is happening, asking the woman, "Are you being threatened?"

Yes," the woman answered. "I'm with a friend."

After getting the woman's address, the dispatcher asked if the person threatening her was there at the time.

"Yes yes, we want olives and corn," the woman answered.

Props to dispatch: It's very easy to get confused on the phone.

And yet everyone did perfectly here:

"If there's someone beside you, add another topping," the quick-thinking dispatcher asked.

"I'll also take mushrooms," responded the woman.

Another dispatcher then told the woman: "Keep yourself safe, we're on our way."

One thing you know for sure: The creep who was threatening her did not get to enjoy any pizza.
