没有任何人出现在你的生日聚会is a harrowing experience — but it can be made better by a little cake.

That was the philosophy of one Domino's worker who's going viral for stepping up to help a child facing loneliness on her special day, according toFox 5 Atlanta.

In October, a girl's mom had called the Queensland, Australia restaurant about an order previously placed for a large group of people that would not be needed.

"When she arrived at the store to collect the one pizza, shift supervisor Miles surprised her with a custom chocolate dessert pizza topped with churros & brownies!" the company's Australia page wrote in a Facebook post about the event.

"Thank you Miles for going the extra 'mile' to help turn this customer's day around," the company added.

"When I first heard that one of our customers wanted to cancel a large pizza order after only one friend turned up to her daughter's birthday party, I knew I wanted to do something to cheer her up," Miles told FOX Television Stations, adding that the only thing better than pizza, "is a chocolate one."

Domino'shas about 700 stores in Australiaper a press release from March 2020, when it also announced it was opening its 17,000th store globally in the country. The company has over 5,000 stores in the U.S.
