Pope blesses pizza chefs, pontiff pizza created


ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oct. 25, 2000 | VATICAN CITY -- Pizza chefs from the world over made a special delivery Wednesday to St. Peter's Square, getting Pope John Paul II's blessing for his Jubilee of the Pizza-Makers.

It was the latest in the church's 2000 Holy Year days honoring a wide range of people and trades, from doctors to traveling circus workers.

Chefs concocted a pizza for the pontiff: the "Papizza" -- "Papa" being Italian for "pope." Mozzarella, zucchini flowers and yellow peppers stood in for the yellow and white Vatican colors. "Viva il Papa!" the pizza chefs yelled.

The 2,000 cooks -- some from Italy, others from as far away as Japan -- presented John Paul with a copper pizza-warmer. Later, the chefs were giving away 50,000 slices in the piazzas of Rome.
