Officials said Diana Pruett managed to pull in the money one pizza at a time through refunds.

A manager at the store discovered something suspicious with the number of returns and refunds. Police were called in. When they contacted Pruett, she reportedly admitted to officers that she faked returns and kept the money.

Pruett reportedly admitted to doing it for about a year.

FOX23 did some math and figured that, for example, if an average order is $20, it’d take close to 450 pizzas or orders to bring in that much cash.

Pruett is facing a felony embezzlement charge. FOX23 reached out to Mazzio’s but they have not yet provided a statement.
