A PIZZA chain has been accused of selling frozen pizzas — but a simple coincidence was to blame for the misunderstanding that went viral on Twitter.

LET’S be realistic, if you go out for dinner you expect the food to be produced on-site and not to have been picked up from the frozen food aisle at Coles or Woolies.
I mean, if I found out I was being served a McCain’s ham and pineapple pizza and not a plate of food made with love, sweat and tears, I’d be seriously considering a refund.
Popular chain, Little Caesars came under fire for doing exactly this when a Twitter clip appeared to show a bulk batch of frozen pizzas being delivered to one of their US stores.
The short clip captioned “this can’t be happening right in front of me” has since reached millions of social media users with 4.42 million views and 46,000 retweets.

The pizza chain, which also operates on Australian shores, explained what actually happened.
It seems there was a simple coincidence as the store operates out of a Kmart store.
“On that day, Kmart received a few complaints from customers about having purchased expired DiGiorno pizzas from that location, and because it was so close to closing time, the Kmart manager directed his employee to temporarily store them in a cooler adjacent to the Little Caesars location for disposal in the morning.”
Not everyone was as horrified as the original Twitter poster. Chrissy Teigan shared a much funnier reaction to the assumed scandal with her 10.7 million followers.
Teigan jumped on the retweet bandwagon, saying: “The only Little Caesars I wanna go to,” to which the frozen pizza company DiGiorno replied, “Same.”
