A man was disgusted when he bit into his freshly cooked pizza - only to find a tooth lurking in the topping.
Todd Routledge had to check he wasn't missing any pegs after biting down on something hard in his Tesco BBQ chicken snack.
Treat: Todd's fiancé Lauren had bought the pizza
When the horrified 28-year-old realised his own teeth were intact, he took to Facebook to register his shock.
He claims the only thing that crossed his mind after finding the tooth was that the person cooking it could have broken their tooth and then just carelessly spat it into the pizza.
Todd, who works for Topps Tiles, said: "I was just chilling out watching the soaps enjoying my pizza when I felt something hard, so spat it out.
"At first I thought it might have been a bit of plastic or something, it was only when I washed it I saw it was a tooth.
"The first thing I did was check that all of my teeth were still there and then I put the pizza in the bin - I was absolutely disgusted to be honest.
"All I can think is that it's someone who was cooking the pizza had broken their tooth and then just spat it into the food, it makes me feel sick."
Todd's fiancé Lauren Telford had bought the BBQ chicken pizza in a £6 meal deal last Friday evening from their local Tesco Extra in Longton, Staffordshire.
He's vowed to stay away from the cheaper pizza options in their store from now on, but says it won't put him off pizza forever.
Todd has two children Verity Routledge, five, from a previous relationship, and a little boy Braden Telford, six, who he worries could have easily chocked on the tooth.
A spokesperson for Tesco said: "There's nothing more important than the quality and safety of the food we sell so we were concerned to hear of this incident.
"We have been in touch with the customer and requested he returns the product to store so we can investigate with our supplier."
