Man became unable to sleep as he received pizzas he never ordered for 10 years

A man has spoken out in 'dread' after continuing to receive pizza deliveries he hadn't ordered for a whopping 10 years.

A man has spoken out in 'dread' after continuing to receive pizza deliveries he didn't order for a whopping 10 years.

It's as if Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has come to life, or if you're not a pizza fan, maybe this is all a bit too stalkerish and true crime documentary for your liking.

Either way, if someone decided to send me pizza deliveries for 10 years straight, I don't think I'd be complaining.

However, remember what they say, be careful what you wish for - Jean Van Landeghem revealing the constant supply of pizza isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Jean Van Landeghem lives in Turnhout, a city located in Antwerp, Belgium. While the city is known for its playing card industry, it's now becoming known for its pizza pandemonium, Landeghem receiving pizza deliveries he didn't order himself at all hours of the day and night.

The 67-year-old has checked the delivery address with riders, but there's been no mistake and the orders have kept on coming for around a decade.

Thankfully, if Landeghem ever gets bored of pizza, there are some other types of fast food which have shown up at his door including kebabs.

But it's become overwhelming for the 67-year-old, orders appearing several times a day - the record so far a whopping 10 deliveries in the space of one day in January 2019.

One order contained 14 pizzas and the orders weren't even all delivered by the same driver, so Landeghem had to explain the confusion to 10 different people.

Landeghem says he turns the deliveries away and so fortunately isn't made to cough up the cash for the excessive amount of orders.

But where the orders have originated from or why they keep getting sent to Landeghem's remains a mystery.

Hopefully it'll be solved soon though, as the 67-year-old told Het Laatste Nieuws in 2020: "I cannot sleep anymore. I start shaking every time I hear a scooter on the street.

"I dread that someone will come to drop off hot pizzas yet another time."

And Landeghem isn't the only person who has been subject to the tirade of pizza deliveries, his friend who lives in Herenthout having received swaths of pizza too.

The police have been informed of the strange ongoings by both Kandeghem and his friend.

The pair suspect the never-ending pizza delivery scheme must be being conducted by someone they know.

If you fancy getting a slice of the action then you could consider relocating and stopping by to help Landeghem with his pizza overflow - after all, it's the yeast we can do.
