A Pizza Hut delivery man showed up Wednesday night to an address in Austell only to find an empty townhome.

When he arrived at the townhouse on Drennon Avenue, two armed men in their late teens or early 20s robbed him of cash and the pizza.

One suspect had a gun, the other a knife. No one was hurt in the incident.

Police said the incident serves as a reminder that food delivery businesses need to be careful "when unknown customers make requests."
