Everyone knows cake is the standard food to have on birthdays, but if you’re the leader of the Catholic faith, you can do what you want.

We can all learn something from Pope Francis who celebrated his 81st birthday yesterday in Vatican City with a 13-foot long pizza. It doesn’t matter who you are or how old you get—pizza is delicious, so why not go all out?

The pizza even had candles in it for him to blow out.
