A Pizza Hut delivery man was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday after thieves lured him to an empty townhome in Austell.

The victim was confronted at 9:40 p.m. by a pair of robbers -- one armed with a knife, the other a gun -- shortly after he arrived at the Drennon Avenue address. Police said the robbers, who appeared to be in their teens or early 20s, were wearing all black clothing and hooded sweatshirts. They took the delivery man's food and cash and then fled on foot.
