Patrons reveal the ways in which restaurants fulfilled their special orders in very literal ways 

Careful what you wish for! Diners reveal the times restaurants took their requests VERY literally – including a pizzeria that served a whole chicken as a topping

  • Diners from around the world have shared requests that were taken very literally
  • One asked for cheese on the side and was given a slice stuck on the bun 
  • Another ordered chicken on a pizza – and was presented with a whole roast bird 

Every customer wants to feel like they are being listened to, but these photos prove that requests can sometimes be taken a little too literally. 

Diners from around the world have taken to social media to share instances where restaurants and waiters followed their instructions to the letter. 

The snaps, which were collated in galleries by Bored Panda and deMilked, include a woman who was served an entire roast chicken on top of her pizza after requesting it as a topping and another woman who was given a smear of sour cream on her taco shell when she asked for it ‘on the side’.

Other examples include a girl who was given a spool of candy floss larger than her after her mother asked for it to be ‘child sized’ and a person who mistakenly asked for a 1in pizza and was delivered exactly that. 

Here, FEMAIL shares some of the best examples…
