Pizzeria Prank Turns Into Act Of Kindness For Others

Author LauRen Merola

Listen to this Pizzeria prank!

Pranks, by nature, are meant to be light-hearted jests that bring laughter and amusement to all parties involved. They are a staple in friendships, workplaces, and families, often seen as a way to foster camaraderie and inject a bit of fun into daily life. However, there’s a delicate balance between a harmless joke and a prank that goes too far.

What happened in this pizzeria prank?

According to the MIRROR, a pizza restaurant in Adelaide, Australia, faced a difficult situation when a prankster placed a large order worth almost $400 (USD), but vanished before picking it up. Determined not to let the food go to waste, the staff at Aroma Pizza House decided to turn the cruel prank into an act of kindness.

Instead of discarding the unclaimed food, the restaurant’s owner, Benkil Sheh, reached out to local charities to donate it to families and children in need. The food was eventually delivered to Puddle Jumpers Incorporated, a children’s charity dedicated to supporting disadvantaged kids.

The restaurant’s generous gesture was widely praised on social media, with many applauding their kindness and vowing to support the restaurant. Despite being the victim of an expensive prank, the restaurant chose to spread joy and delicious pizza to those who needed it most, showing great compassion and character.

South Carolina Is Home To Several Of The Nation's Top Rated Seafood Restaurants

Oh, seafood. When it is good- it’s good, when it’s bad though it’s bad. It can also be a little pricey. So if you are planning on indulging in some fresh delicious seafood you want to know that it’s going to be worth the money. And luckily for you, we know some spots. It’s no secret that South Carolina is home to some great seafood. Especially in the Charleston area which is known (and often recognized) for its culinary scene. So when Yelp published their top 100 seafood spots I knew we’d find at least a few restaurants mentioned. But what are the best top-rated South Carolina seafood restaurants? Keep reading to find out.

What I found after skimming the list is that the Palmetto State scored 6 restaurants on the list including one that made the top 5. And spoiler alert they aren’t all in Charleston or the surrounding area. This is good as it means great seafood delicacies are accessible no matter what part of the state you call home. And whether it’s raw oysters, fried seafood platters, crab cakes, lobster rolls, the Lowcountry classic shrimp and grits, or anything else you can find it in the state!

The Best South Carolina Seafood Restaurants

To create this list Yelp identified businesses in their seafood category that had an abundance of reviews praising the term “seafood”. From there restaurants were ranked using factors like the total rankings. Only 10 restaurants per state we able to be included in this list to ensure “geographical diversity”.

It’s now past daylight savings time, it’s warm, and what better way to celebrate that than some fresh seafood, a cold drink, and perhaps a patio? Your next spot to do just that is waiting. So give this list featuring the best of the best South Carolina top-rated seafood restaurants a look. You can view the full Yelp list here. Did your favorite make the list? Let us know!
