Pizza helps end a prison hostage-taking in Australia.

An excerpt from the BBC story:

A two-day prison siege in Australia has ended after inmates agreed to exchange their hostage for a delivery of pizzas.

A group of 20 inmates at Risdon maximum security prison, in the Tasmanian capital Hobart, seized a guard and a number of other prisoners on Saturday.

"Our staff member was negotiated out with the delivery of 15 pizzas," prisons director Graeme Barber said.

Once the inmates, who were demanding better treatment, had eaten their fill, they let the other hostages go.
