Praise cheeses! Pope accepts pizza delivery to his speeding popemobile

Pope Francis, who recently lamented being unable to slip out and get a pizza like he used to, finally got a pie – albeit one hand-delivered to his Popemobile.

Pizza maker Enzo Cacialli had a pie on hand as Francis sped by the Naples waterfront during his one-day visit to the city famous for its pizza.

In a video made by a colleague at the Don Ernesto pizzeria, Mr Cacialli is seen getting close enough to the Popemobile to make the delivery as the crowd behind him cheers.

Mr Cacialli, whose father made pizza for a visiting US President Bill Clinton in 1994, told Naples’ Il Mattino that he used yellow tomatoes rather than red to reflect the colours of the Holy See.

He said he was “full of joy that he accepted a pizza straight from my hands”.
