SALISBURY — A Papa John’s pizza delivery man was robbed at gunpoint Sunday. The thieves took two large pizzas and 16 chicken wings, police say.

The driver went to the 200 block of East Council Street just after 10 p.m. and was met by two men wearing black hooded sweatshirts.

One of the men handed the delivery man a $50 bill, which he believed to be counterfeit. The driver told the two men he would not accept the fake bill.

According to police reports, one of the men pulled a pistol and took the food.
