When these Delta passengers couldn’t make their flight, the airline instead decided to treat everyone to a bite.

Thunderstorms and tornado warnings caused almost 3,000 flights to be cancelled or delayed. So, Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines decided to make it up to their passengers by ordering pizza.

More than 700 boxes of pie were delivered to passengers stranded in Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and other airports in the Southeast.

Flight delayed passengers – many who were forced to sleep on floors and chairs – were surprised when air stewards began serving up thousands of pizza slices throughout the airport. The passengers were even more surprised when pilots got involved in handing out the slices too.

“It’s just a small gesture but it’s one that our customers do appreciate,” Delta corporate communications manager Michael Thomas told AJC. “We know it’s not fun to be stuck on the ground somewhere.”

The feat can’t even be called unusual for the company; serving free airport food has almost become a Delta tradition. Delta went the extra mile last year by giving out doughnuts, pizza and drinks to passengers when over 2,000 flights were cancelled due to a power outage.

Social media was abuzz with people thanking Delta for providing the free meal – and most importantly, the great customer service.

Kristin on Twitter summed it up best: “Delta, I was a little mad at y’all for leaving me stranded in Alabama, but then y’all brought us pizza so we’re cool again.”

As ridiculously high as airplane tickets are, a free pizza should come with the ticket.

Beause the cancelations weren't Deltas fault and it demonstrates that they are aware that people will be annoyed and trying to give them a token to make it better

Why is your friend buying you a beer enough to get over your wife of 12 years cheating on you with the mailman?

It's not, but it'll help a lot

maybe not. but they should have refunded though. it's not about getting them where they are going, it's about making it up to them. when the flight is finally able to go, make it free to everyone, cause of what they went through

Food is the EASIEST way to get someone to think positively of you. I used to be a line cook. And there was this one time where I made a dish for one of my waitress buddies and she enjoyed it so much, that even though I didn't ask her for a ride home and she was flying halfway down the road, she called up the restaurant to find out if I needed a ride.

So take note from Delta Airlines, if you want to treat someone, give them food. And remember, a $10 meal you made yourself (that tastes darned good) >>>>>>>>>>>>> Being treated to a restaurant.

Unless that friend was the mailman who slept with your wife, that analogy isn't valid.

They can obviously choose the weather like how the mailman can obviously choose to sleep with your wife.

Literally thunderstorm and tornado warning.
Delta did the customers a service by canceling flights (though it's obviously what they should've done anyway), and then bought them pizza.

I was stranded at Logan Airport for 16 hours on Thursday thanks to Delta. On top of that, my Delta trip Sunday morning was cancelled. Fuck them. Already left them a 1 star review on yelp. They didn't give us pizza for that.

When I had a flight canceled out of Atlanta once, with no way to get back on a later flight that night, that airline put us all up in a hotel and gave us a $50 meal voucher, plus a $150 future travel credit.

If all they got was a slice of pizza, they got the shaft.
