One of the benefits of ordering Pizza everday I guess, my local pizza place(s) would never do this
Pensioner's life saved by her love of pizza (after Dominos noticed she'd missed her daily order for the first time in a year)
Hero: Susan Guy checked on Mrs Wilson after hearing she had not ordered a pizza for three days
For most people, eating a large Domino's pepperoni pizza every day would likely send you into an early grave.
For 82-year-old Jean Wilson, however, her penchant for the Italian meal probably saved her life.
The Tennessee pensioner has ordered the same pizza every day for the last three years.
When a Domino's delivery driver heard she had not placed an order in three days, she insisted her boss allowed her to go around and check on her.
Now Susan Guy has been labelled a hero after she discovered Mrs Wilson, who lives alone, had fallen and was unable to get up or reach a phone.
Before Monday's incident, few of the 82-year-old's neighbours knew anything about her, except that she has eaten pizza every day for the past three years.
Assistant manager of her local Domino's store Dale Rosado said: 'She is the first customer to call every day without fail.
'She always orders a large, thin crust pepperoni pizza and two diet cokes.'
Ms Guy said: 'We make her pizza every day before she even calls, because we know she's going to call.
'But my boss told me today she hadn't called in three days.'
She insisted to her boss that she be allowed to check on Mrs Wilson.
Shaken: Mrs Wilson was taken to the hospital by ambulance staff who found her lying on the floor of her home where she had been for three days undiscovered
She said: 'He was like, "Naw, you don't have to do that," and I said, "Yeah I do. Clock me out if that's what you gotta do".'
When Susan Guy arrived at Mrs Wilson's house and knocked on her door, no one answered.
Getting no response after banging on her windows she went to neighbour Larry Comeaux's house for help.
He said: 'The pizza lady came over and knocked on the door wanting to know if I'd seen the lady across the street.'
Pizza and cola: Assistant manager Dale Rosado said Mrs Wilson called at the same time every day and ordered the same pepperoni thin crust and diet coke
Ms Guy added: 'And he said, "No, maybe she's not home." And I said, "Well, not home? How many times have you see her leave?" And he goes, "Never".'
She then called 911 and when the police arrived they broke down Mrs Wilson's door and found her lying on the floor inside.
It turned out that she had fallen on Saturday and could neither get up or reach a telephone for help.
Investigators said that it's likely her pizza-only diet saved her life.
Ms Guy said: 'I'm just a pizza deliverer, that's all. I really hope she gets well soon. She treats us really well and appreciates us. And that's something we don't get in customers a lot.'
Mrs Wilson was kept overnight in St Francis hospital for observation but was not in critical condition.
Spokesman for Domino's Tim McIntyre said: 'It's hard to put in words, it is so touching. We are so proud of Susan. We are going to make sure we welcome Mrs Wilson back home when she is better.'
