The Uptown Messenger website reports that a 19-year-old Hollygrove man called Domino's last week and ordered a pizza to be delivered to the 8600 block of Palm Street.
When the deliveryman arrived with the pie, police say the man threw a cup of bleach into his eyes, temporarily blinding him and causing him to drop the pizza, the website reports. The alleged attacker, Terrence Alexis, has been booked with simple robbery and second-degree battery, court records show. Bond has been set at $200,000.

The website says the deliveryman, who is not named in the report, has yet to regain his sight a week after the Feb. 3 attack. But police said the damage to his eyes is thought to be temporary.
Court records show Alexis last July was arrested and booked with aggravated assault, illegally carrying a concealed weapon and aggravated assault with a firearm. Records show that in September, he took an "Alford plea," meaning he did not admit he was guilty but conceded that the strong evidence could have led to his conviction.
Criminal District Court Judge Laurie White gave Alexis credit for time served, meaning he was released at that time, the records show. He had been in jail 54 days at the time of his release, according to the records.
Each of the charges Alexis pleaded to carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison. Asked to comment on the sentence imposed on Alexis, Orleans Parish District Attorney's office spokesman Chris Bowman said, "Sentencing is up to the judge."
