A Pizza Fit for the Pope

Pope Francis is visiting New York City on Thursday. There will be this example of that city's most famous food waiting for him. Chef Tony Salihaj of Bleecker Street Pizza in the West Village composed this picture-perfect pizza portrait of him. His robe is made of mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and his staff of anchovies.

This is only one of a surprisingly large number of pizzas that New York City's finest pizzerias are creating in the Pope's honor, often with the hope of actually delivering them to him. You can see photos of more Papal pizzas as the New York Post.
