Two New Jersey State Police troopers ordered and paid for more than a dozen pizzas after weather stranded travelers inside an airport last weekend.

While the airline that canceled the flight offered cookies to the customers, one passenger says that the troopers were kind enough to buy food for the more than 100 people left in the closed Atlantic City International Airport on May 31, according to WNBC-TV.

"Trooper Adotta and Trooper Mercurio stepped up!" Samantha Metallo in a Facebook post. "Without hesitation, the two gentlemen ordered and paid for 15 pizzas to feed the stranded passengers."

New Jersey State Trooper Fraternal Association President Chris Burgos told the news station that he's very proud of what the two troopers did.

"It's what we do every day," he said.
