Pizza maker hand-delivers papal pie to Pope Francis

Pope Francis has said that all he wants is to go out one day to a pizzeria "without being recognized."

Wishful thinking, perhaps. But when you're the the leader of the Catholic world pizza comes to you.

Pizzeria owner Enzo Cacialli personally handed the pope a pie on Sunday as his motorcade drove through Naples.

But, not just any pizza: a Naples-style thin crust creation with "Il Papa" spelled out in dough and topped with yellow cherry tomatoes, a reference to the Vatican flag.

A video shows Cacialli, co-owner of Pizzeria Don Ernesto, hopping a barrier with the pie in hand as the Popemobile approaches.

The video shows Pope Francis reaching down and receiving the offering.

Cacialli comes from a pizza-making family. His says his father made a pizza for President Bill Clinton when he visited Naples in 1994.

When Cacialli learned Pope Francis was going to be in town he decided to follow in his father's footsteps.

Cacialli is still waiting to hear whether Pope Francis enjoyed the edible offering.
