Bruce Springsteen dressed up as a pizza delivery guy to throw Steven Van Zandt a surprise birthday party — planned quietly for three months, so well hidden that Steven thought it was a joke! No fanfare, no big stage — just a small backyard party full of love, laughter, and E Street vibes. Bruce personally called friends, ordered a guitar-shaped cake, and even disguised himself as a delivery guy to “break into” Steven’s house. When Steven opened the door, he laughed: “I didn’t order pizza! Who are you?” — until Bruce pulled off his cap and strummed “Happy Birthday” on his harmonica. Only 17 close friends attended — all “big names” — and Bruce’s gift, a never-before-heard demo from their earliest E Street days, brought Steven to tears
