Two fans hand-delivered a frozen Aurelio’s pizza from Homewood to Pope Francis during a youth event in Rome — a moment that sparked global buzz after the Pope’s security accepted the pie. Before he became Pope, "Father Bob" had deep ties to the Homewood area — making the viral delivery feel like a heartfelt hometown reunion.

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.
