A couple of armed teens thought they'd order a pizza and rip off the delivery guy, but what they got was a heap of trouble and a date with a judge.
A Roxbury pizza deliveryman was robbed last week when he brought a pie to a Dale Street apartment, so when the shop's owner got a call for the same location about 8:30 p.m. Thursday, he called the cops.
A cop in street clothes who was armed with a pizza delivery bag and plenty of backup knocked on the door and yelled ``pizza'' several times, but no one answered, according to police.
When he stepped into the foyer, he saw one youth holding an 8-inch knife and wearing all black, a white mask and a black hat. Another youth was dressed in black, wore a black mask and had an 8-inch knife.
He told the two juveniles he was a police officer, and back-up officers waiting outside responded and helped with the arrest.
The two male suspects were arraigned yesterday in Boston Juvenile Court.
