A failed pizza robbery resulted in an arrest early Saturday morning just after the bars closed on East Sixth Street, according to an Austin Police Department arrest affidavit.

Rueben Gonzales III, 34, was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery.

A man approached the officers patrolling near East Sixth and Trinity streets at 2:29 a.m. and told them, "Help me… this man pulled a knife on us and tried to take our pizza," the arrest affidavit stated.

The victim told officers that he and three friends were standing outside of Roppolo’s Pizzeria on East Sixth Street having just ordered their pizza when they were approached by Gonzales, who was belligerently drunk, according to the affidavit.

The victim said Gonzales demanded they sell him a slice of pizza for a dollar. The group refused, noting they paid $30 for the pizza, at which point Gonzales pulled out a pocket knife, opened it up and said "give me your [expletive] pizza," according to the victim’s statement in the arrest affidavit.

After the victim told his friends to get police, the affidavit said, Gonzales walked away.

Police found Gonzales at the scene, and while frisking him they recovered a knife with a 3-inch serrated blade, which Gonzales said was his "work knife," according to the affidavit. Police said the victim accurately described the knife in Gonzales’ possession.

Gonzales is being held in Travis County jail on $20,000 bond.
