Oops, they did it again.

First, it was a mac and cheese container. Now, the Iowa Capitol has been evacuated because of a burnt pizza crust.

The evacuation took place Tuesday after a crust was burned in the building’s cafeteria, the Associated Press reported.

Spokesman Caleb Hunter from the Department of Administrative Services told the AP that there was no damage to property and no one was injured in the incident.

According to the AP, many members of the Iowa Legislature were away from the Capitol during the evacuation.

The Capitol was evacuated about three weeks ago when a cup of Kraft Easy Mac was left in a microwave located behind the Senate chambers.
