Pope Leo XIV, formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost before he was elected the first American pope earlier this year, received the gift as he rode through Saint Peter’s Square in Rome on Wednesday, July 30. His brother, John Prevost, told Chicago TV station WGN that the pontiff “devoured” the personal pepperoni pie.

The pizza delivered to Pope Leo in Vatican City appears to be from Illinois-based Aurelio's Pizza, who were quick to take credit. See the delivery.

It's not every day Chicago-style pizza ends up in Vatican City—hand-delivered to the pope himself. But that's exactly what happened when two people brought Aurelio's Pizza to St. Peter's Square, catching the attention (and thumbs-up) of Pope Leo XIV.
