A Chicago pizza from Aurelio's traveled from Illinois to Vatican City as Pope Leo XIV received a thumbs-up worthy delivery at St. Peter's Square. This is the story of the pizza's journey.
"The pope is one of us … He remembers where he came from." Peter Burke is a lifestyle editor with Fox News Digital.
The pontiff was handed a box of pizza from Aurelio's as he arrived in St. Peter's Square in the Popemobile for his weekly audience. Video of the pizza delivery showed the Popemobile coming to a stop in front of a sign that read, "We have Aurelio's Pizza."
