Domino's driver arrives at Buckingham Palace with pizzas for 'Elizabeth'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Domino's driver found himself on the wrong side of the law when he tried to deliver pizza to a customer called "Elizabeth" — at Buckingham Palace.
The motorbike rider was dispatched with four large Cheeseburger pizzas to Britain’s best-known address last Thursday afternoon. But he sparked confusion when he tried to make his way past security at the gates to drop off his tasty 46-pound ($58) take-out treat.

"The next thing the copper said was ‘Sorry sir, Elizabeth is the name of the Queen — and she lives at Buckingham Palace. I think someone is winding you up.’
"The poor guy looked very confused and just rode off.”

A Domino’s spokeswoman tracked the order, which was made via telephone at the company’s London Victoria store, with a promise of a cash payment on delivery.
“We’ve always suspected the Queen was a secret Domino’s fan and the order to Buckingham Palace almost confirmed our suspicions," store manager Zsuzsanna Queiser said.
