You’ve never had a pizza topping like this. 

Authorities in Southern California found a range of drugs during a traffic stop Tuesday, but also discovered a handgun inside a pizza box on top of a pepperoni pie, the Kern County Sheriff’s office said. 

Deputies stopped the vehicle around 3 a.m. in Rosamond, 80 miles north of Los Angeles, for “simple vehicle code violations.”

The driver, Danny Carson, 47, had a misdemeanor warrant and was on post-release community supervision for weapons violations, authorities said.

During a search of the vehicle, deputies found methamphetamine, Xanax, cocaine, and fentanyl, which weighed a combined 1.5 pounds. 

“Deputies located a sawed-off shotgun and two loaded handguns, one of which was concealed in a pizza box on top of the pizza,” the sheriff’s office said. 

Also found inside the vehicle were cash, scales, drug paraphernalia and packing equipment, authorities said.

Three passengers in the car were also arrested.
