( CNN ) 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 . `` Papa ! Papa ! '' he yelled as he ran toward the open-top vehicle , apparently unimpeded by papal minders . The video shows Pope Francis reaching down and receiving the offering . After the hand off Cacialli pumps his fist in the air , victorious , as the crowd cheers . `` I gave him the pizza and with a smile he said 'thank you , ' '' Cacialli told CNN . 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 . `` It 's really hard for me to understand what I managed to do , '' Cacialli said . `` Giving a pizza you made with your own hands to the Pope is very emotional . It 's really hard for me to express the value of this gesture for a man we really love and value , for a beautiful person full of humanity . '' Cacialli is still waiting to hear whether Pope Francis enjoyed the edible offering .
