Escaped Python Terrorizes Pizzeria Diners

FREISTADT, Austria (AP) - Would you like a python on that pizza?

Diners at a pizzeria in the western Austrian town of Freidstadt certainly didn't - they called police in a panic Thursday evening after a nearly 10-foot-long tiger python was seen slithering across the restaurant floor.

A police officer captured the python and stuffed it in a box.

Authorities said they were mystified as to how the python ended up in the pizzeria, and were checking with local snake breeders to see if any of their reptiles was missing.
