Remembering Pope Francis, The First Pope To Like Pineapple On Pizza
VATICAN CITY—Pope Francis’s papacy brought many achievements and firsts in the Catholic Church, such as being the first Latin American pontiff and first non-European to hold the papacy since 741, but many will remember him as the first Pope to like pineapple on pizza. “I fondly remember how during my first meeting with him, he brought out his Popephone and ordered a pizza with extra pineapple,” said cardinal Giuseppe Marino in an interview with The Wasted Onion. “It was one of his many loves during his life, he would tell me stories about how his parents would take him to their local Pizza Hut for his birthdays and treat him to a Hawaiian Sizzler.” Cardinal Marino went on to speak about how the first Argentinian pope would regularly order the ham and pineapple pizza with a side of potato wedges, cookies, and a bottle of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar from the local Domino’s. At press time, reports suggested JD Vance, who was one of the last people to meet the late pope, had brought a cheeseburger pizza from Papa Johns as a gift, which Pope Francis reportedly rejected, saying “this is the greatest sin I’ve ever had the displeasure of witnessing in my 12 years of papacy,” before Vance was escorted out.
