SPARTANBURG- Even Cam Newton needs a late night snack.

On Thursday night after the first day of training camp at Wofford College, Newton wanted a pizza. The only problem- it was after closing time.

Newton told the media he showed up at the Pizza Hut on Asheville Highway in Spartanburg around 10:15 P.M., fifteen minutes after the store had closed. NBC Charlotte went to the restaurant to find out what happened.

"I had came over here to lock the door, because it was closed, and as soon as I locked that door he pulled up," said Pizza Hut server Maya Brockman.

She said at first glance, she thought he was a college student. He was driving a black car, and had on a funny black hat so she couldn't really make out his face.

Newton told the server he didn't have an order, but that he didn't eat meat and was hoping to get a cheese pizza, with stuffed crust.

Brockman grabbed her manager, Amanda McCluney who said that the ovens were still on and they could do it.

By this time, they started thinking this wasn't a normal customer. From his black hat, to his matte black fancy car, they wondered who was in the drivers seat.

To take the order, they needed a name but Newton wasn't offering any hints.

He said, 'Well don't be a stranger if I come back.' I said, 'Well, what's your name?' He said, 'I don't know." So I said, 'Well I'll just call you stranger when you come back,'" McCluney said.

When Newton pulled away, the girls were still racking their minds- until Brockman got a look at the license plate.

"It said the Chosen one," Brockman said.

While he was trying to convince them to give him a pizza, he told him he had just finished with practice. Once he pulled away, McCluney googled the Panthers roster.

"I was like, 'Cam Newton! I knew it was you, I knew who it was!" McCluney said.

Brockman said she felt like an opportunity slipped right through her fingers, but he did leave something behind.

At that Friday press conference, Newton said with a grin on his face, it was an "expensive" pizza.

The employees said that's because he left them with fifty dollars.

"It definitely came in handy because I was actually short fifty dollars because I'm moving and I needed that to go towards my Uhaul and my storage unit and it came, and I said that's nothing but a blessing," McCluney said.

Their only regret- no picture, no autograph and no proof of the day they served their most famous customer yet.

Cam is a big tipper.

I hate that they didn't realize it was Cam before he left. Sucks for them.

I hope Cam goes back to the Pizza Hut and takes a picture with the employees since they missed their chance the last time. It would be pretty cool.

Cool story. Cam is such a good human being. The team is full of them, and there's numerous athletes & people with great influence who are as well.

if cam comes in to get pizza and you don't know it is him, then you don't deserve a tip.  

[Jangler]

Cam was at the drive-thru window and his big black hat made it hard for them to make out who he was. It's not like he came inside in the place.

What a jerk, Cam.  Showing up to that place demanding a pizza after they closed for the evening.  What an awesome staff at that Pizza Hut to halt their clean-up work and pop out a fresh pie (with a stuffed crust!) for you.  Don't let ESPN get ahold of this one.
