The soldiers were staying at the Marriott Marquis Hotel during their mission to the nation's capital when they decided to order a pizza from a nearby establishment using Uber Eats, according to a Department of Defense report shared with The Post and Courier.
When they opened the pizza, they found shards of glass baked into the dough and cheese.
They didn't eat the pizza and no one was injured, according to the report. No other Guardsmen experienced a similar problem.
"The command says that the soldiers are OK, and that this was the only incident to their knowledge," said Capt. Jessica Donnelly, a spokeswoman for the S.C. National Guard.
She confirmed the incident was reported to police.
A spokeswoman for the D.C. Metro Police Department said there was no information immediately available about the incident.
The soldiers' names were not mentioned in the Department of Defense report or named by S.C. National Guard officials.
The S.C. National Guard troops returned from their deployment on Tuesday. Gov. Henry McMaster sent nearly 500 soldiers to Washington, D.C., last week to support President Donald Trump.
Trump said he wanted to "dominate" the streets in response to protesters. The demonstrations were sparked by the death of George Floyd, a black man from Minneapolis whose death at the hands of police was captured on video.
