"A Spinelli's pizza delivery driver is in stable condition Monday after he was carjacked, robbed and seriously stabbed — but still managed to make his delivery.

 

Fortunately for Josh Lewis, he was delivering the pizza to the Norton Hospital emergency room at 200 E. Chestnut St. Sunday afternoon when he was attacked.

 

"I can't believe he just walked in there, said 'Hi, I'm from Spinelli's. I have a pizza delivery,' and then just collapsed. That's dedication," said Spinelli's regional manager Willow Rouben.

 

Lewis, a 19-year-old college student from Detroit, Mich., is recovering from a collapsed lung at the University of Louisville Hospital after a man allegedly stabbed him in the back, robbed him and stole his vehicle, Rouben said.

 

Louisville Metro Police are still looking for the suspect and Lewis' black Jeep Cherokee with gold racing stripes and light blue trim bearing Michigan license plate CDY6122.

 

Lewis has always been a reliable and responsible employee and his determination to deliver the pizza underscores that, Rouben said.

 

Lewis had been working on and off at the Spinelli's Pizzeria on Fifth and Jefferson streets for almost a year. Though the company generally doesn't hire part-time delivery drivers, Rouben said managers made an exception for Lewis because of his work ethic.

 

"He's just always been a really great guy," she said. "He shows up on time and is a great worker."

 

Sunday's robbery was not the first time a Spinelli's has been the victim of a robbery.

 

A delivery driver was robbed and had their leg broken roughly a year ago and another driver was making a delivery in Indiana when they were robbed and beaten, according to Rouben.

 

Spinelli's has security measures in place for drivers to try and avoid these types of incidents including lock boxes inside the stores so drivers don't carry around a lot of cash and a policy of only accepting debit and credit transactions after midnight.

 

Rouben said those policies will not change and that no new safety measures are likely to be instituted following Sunday's incident.

 

"I don't think (the robbery) was really directed at a pizza delivery guy, I think he was just a victim of opportunity, of circumstance," Rouben said.

 

Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Dwight Mitchell said there are no new suspects or leads.

 

Anyone with any information about the vehicle or the stabbing is asked to call 502-574-LMPD (5673)."

Hope this guy recovers fully.

 

If he doesn't get Employee of the Year, something is wrong.

 

Also, no chance I'm not carrying if I were ever to be a pizza guy.

I used to deliver pizzas and never had any issues. Of course, that was in the mid 90s. Loved it.

Hope this guy recovers fully.

Exactly, the headline should have read, Pizza delivery man makes robbers head a canoe, still manages to deliver pizza.

Sure he delieverd the pizza, but did he get it there in 30 minutes or less?

If that was a guarantee at Spinellis, no one in Louisville would ever pay for late night pizza.

I think they deliver until 4 a.m.. from their 5th and Jefferson location.

If that was a guarantee at Spinellis, no one in Louisville would ever pay for late night pizza.

 

Truth. If Spinelli's ever delivered within 30 minutes, I may pay double...
