An 18-wheeler containing DiGiorno and Tombstone frozen pizzas toppled over, spilling the pies everywhere and causing an Arkansas highway to shut down for hours on Wednesday.

The truck scraped a bridge that sliced opened its trailer causing the pizzas to spill all across I-30, just south of Little Rock in front of the Arkansas Department of Transportation office, the Associated Press reported.

A westbound section of I-30 was closed for four hours, while the eastbound side was closed for one hour while cleaning crews cleared the road of frozen pizza.

Agency spokesman Danny Straessle said people were shaken up but no one was hurt, and the accident only caused cosmetic damage to the bridge.

While the frozen pizzas have been cleared, Straessle said the highway has a "slippery spot" from the combination of the pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and spilled diesel.
