Pizza saves my life on a weekly basis, mostly when I'm hungover AF, but this story is a whole new level.
An Oregon man's life was saved by Domino's Pizza staff after they realized he hadn't ordered food in 11 days.
Staff at a Salem Domino's Pizza became concerned for Kirk Alexander, 47, when he failed to place an order in nearly two weeks. So much so that they sent one of their delivery drivers to his home to check on him.

She then dialed 911 and Kirk was eventually found on the floor of his home suffering from medical problems. According to KOIN, paramedics said they believed he had a stroke.
General manager Sarah Fuller told the publication that Kirk has been ordering from the branch since 2009, so they knew it was odd that they hadn't heard from him in so long.

"He orders every day, every other day," she said. "His order pops up on the screen because he orders online. So we see it come across the screen and we're like, 'Oh, Kirk's order'.
"He orders all the time, so we know him. I think we were just doing our job checking in on someone we know who orders a lot. We felt like we needed to do something."
Thank God they did! We wish him a speedy recovery.
See, weekly pizza deliveries are never a bad thing. In fact, they could save your life.
