Apparently the Hardest Thing About Being Pope Is Not Being Able to Eat at Pizzarias

Pope Francis may be a beacon for hope and leadership to millions of people in the Roman Catholic Church, but the guy really misses the days when he could mosey into a pizza joint and grab a slice without all the hassle. According to NBC, the Pope told Argentine newspaper La Voz del Pueblo that delivery doesn't cut it for him. He misses being able to stroll into a pizzeria and grab "una buena pizza."

For a pope who loves a hot slice, wants to be remembered as a "good guy," and has angered GOP Catholics with his progressive stance on climate change and Palestine, he's not very progressive when it comes to his TV habits. He admitted to La Voz in the same interview that he hasn't watched television since the summer of 1990, saying "no es para mi" (it's not for me) and promising the Virgin Mary that he was done with the tube for good. Luckily, his Swiss Guards keep him up to date on the soccer standings.
