Alexandria Police are searching for two suspects who assaulted and robbed a pizza delivery driver early Wednesday morning on the 6100 block of Edsall Road.
The driver had just finished delivering a pizza at around 1 a.m. and got to his car when he was approached by two unknown suspects. The victim, who is a male in his 50s, was punched in the face during the incident and his cash and car were stolen, according to APD spokesman Lt. Courtney Ballantine.
(Updated 4:45 p.m.) If everything goes to plan, husband and wife team Jeffrey Jr. and Kelly Yates may finally be able to open the pizza restaurant that’s been “opening soon” since early 2014.
The dream of Yates Pizza Palace started in 2014 when Jeffrey Yates Sr., owner of the Yates Car Wash and recent purchaser of Table Talk (1623 Duke Street), purchased the space on the 3000 block of Duke Street that had been local pizza and pasta institution Generous George’s.
Parent-teacher conferences can be a stressful situation for both parties, but a donation from a nearby pizza shop helped ease that stress last week at Cora Kelly School for Math, Science and Technology.
A manager at Toppers Pizza (3827 Mount Vernon Avenue) in Del Ray said they received an order for 185 pizzas from someone in Alexandria City Public Schools, in preparation for parent-teacher conferences.
