Imagine opening your door for your DoorDash order... only to find out your driver had just been hit by a fleeing suspect moments earlier. Despite the chaos, they still completed the delivery. The unbelievable story has people calling the driver a true professional.

It's fun when you run across a I-did-not-know-that-moment. Especially when that moment is something that originated from East Texas, specifically Wills Point. This particular tidbit of East Texas history involves a food created in the midwestern city of Chicago and has become synonymous with that city throughout the world, deep dish pizza.

There are not many in East Texas that would turn down a slice of pizza. It can actually result in a pretty heated debate into who has the best pizza in your area. For me, if I'm getting pizza from a major chain, it's Papa Johns. If I'm getting one from a locally owned pizza joint, it's either Topps Pizza in Tyler or Doc's Pizza in Lindale. But really, I don't care where the pizza comes from. I love pizza and I love how each restaurant has their own touches to make their flavor unique.
