The Pope Pizza Is The Perfect Pie For The Pope Of The People

The pope is visiting New York City this week. And apparently His Holiness is a big fan of pizza. Wow, he truly is the pope of the people! To celebrate, Bleeker Street Pizza in the West Village served up this pope pizza. It is glorious. Yes, being the pope is like a high honor and everything, but I think we can all agree that the day someone puts YOUR FACE ON A PIZZA, well, that’s the day you know you’ve finally arrived. You’ve made it.

Thanks to my pal Sara from NYC for posting the above pic and bringing all this gloriousness to my attention. Please have a slice for me! Preferably a shoulder piece.
