Brittany Bevirt-Voyles was letting her dog out earlier this week when he started doing something unusual.
“He went straight to my back tire and started sniffing like crazy,” Bevirt-Voyles tells SLM.
She peered into one of her Volvo’s back tires, and that’s when she found them: pieces of store bought-style sausage pizza cut cleanly into squares and stuffed into her Volvo’s back tires.
No bite marks. No explanation. Just pizza.

Brittany Bevirt-Voyles is stumped by her pizza mystery.
“I have absolutely no clue why or how it happened, but I’m guessing it was some kind of bizarre prank meant to confuse me and weird me out,” Bevirt-Voyles says. “Whatever it was, I’m completely stumped!”
Bevirt-Voyles’ pizza fairy godmother didn’t damage or otherwise vandalize her car in any way, but the situation was too strange to shrug off. She took her mystery to the Tower Grove East Facebook page to see if any of her neighbors had similar experiences.
No one else had been visited by the pizza-leaving bandit, Bevirt-Voyles learned, but neighbors had some interesting theories about where the ‘za came from. One neighbor thought it might be a kid’s prank. Another asked if she’d run over the pizza and it landed in her tires. Or was it something more sinister, a way for criminals to mark Bevirt-Voyles’ car for later mischief?
Squirrels were the most popular suggestion.
“Could a squirrel have done it?” one neighbor asked on Facebook. “Taken it from someone’s trash and stored it there? Just trying to offer some suggestions, because that’s really weird.”
Bevirt-Voyles believes the mysterious pizza culprit is human because each piece was cut into a square, probably to fit through her rims, she says.
“My favorite theory is that it’s some sort of St. Louis pizza gang initiation,” Bevirt-Voyles says.
