After more than a year of wreaking havoc with his pizza-themed graffiti, Daniel Henderson, 42, of Yonkers, has finally been apprehended.
The New Rochelle Police Department announced Henderson’s arrest on December 27, describing his antics as a “plague” on the city and nearby areas. The suspect allegedly tagged at least 13 locations with his signature pepperoni slice graffiti, as reported by The New York Post.

Henderson’s obsession with his peculiar art form, known as the “One Slice Please” trend, earned him notoriety among locals. His signature tag featured a slice of pepperoni pizza complete with green lines symbolizing oregano and strings of melting cheese.
From pizzerias to other neighborhood spots, his graffiti seemed to appear everywhere, much to the frustration of business owners and residents alike.
The graffiti spree gained traction on social media through an Instagram account under the name “OneSlicePlease.” The account showcased images of Henderson’s work across various sites and even included a screengrab from a news segment covering his exploits.
The social media presence didn’t stop there—Henderson allegedly operated a website selling a framed painting of his pizza artwork for a staggering $3,000. Clearly, his obsession with the greasy slice wasn’t just a hobby but an entrepreneurial pursuit.
The police described the arrest as the culmination of a year-long investigation. The unique nature of Henderson’s graffiti caught the attention of social media influencers and local media outlets, sparking widespread discussion about his peculiar art campaign.
However, while some may have found his artwork amusing, New Rochelle authorities took a dim view of his actions, noting the damage and disruption caused to public and private property.
The self-proclaimed “One Slice Please” artist now faces three counts of making graffiti, with additional charges pending. Henderson’s pizza-themed antics may have entertained social media users, but they left a sour taste for those whose properties he vandalized.
This case serves as a reminder that while creative expression can be celebrated, it doesn’t excuse the destruction of others’ property. New Rochelle Police made it clear that while Henderson’s graffiti gained him online fame, it also put him squarely in the sights of law enforcement.
