A Florida boy who called 911 to order pizza has gotten a side order with his pie: a lesson from police.

The Sanford Police Department says it sent three officers to a home in the area Friday for a well-being check after a juvenile there called 911, and while on the way, a dispatcher explained that the child said he was hungry and wanted pizza.

"Officers used it as an opportunity to teach about the proper use of 911, then went and bought a large box of pizza and personally delivered it," the department said, posting an image of the officers standing behind the boy, who is holding a Pizza Hut box.

Sanford Police hashtagged the Facebook post with #foodemergency, #pizzahotline, #speedydelivery, #servicecomesinmanyforms and #pleasedontcall911fordelivery -- using this opportunity to teach the boy a valuable lesson.
