Viral video catches man saving 500-degree pizza with bare hands
A hot pizza was headed for the floor when a hero with fast hands saved the day.
A Toppers Pizza Place employee was passing behind a coworker who was unloading a pie from a 500-degree oven. The two collided and the pizza went sailing through the air until Christian Alfaro caught it with his bare hands and delivers it safely to the counter.
The Southern California pizza chain shared a video of the amazing catch on their Facebook page with the caption, “Not all heroes wear capes.”
They included the hashtags HotPotatoMaster, CoolAsACucumber and gotyourback.
The soundtrack is Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode.”
“Just another busy day at Toppers Pizza Place,” Alfaro told FOX-10 News.
“The footage came from our security cameras, and we just thought it was funny,” Kelsey Jonker, who runs media for Toppers Pizza Place, told FOX-10. “We definitely did not expect it to gain so many views.”
The Facebook video has been viewed 4.8 million times with 94,000 shares since it was posted June 3.
