On Monday, Kate Middleton and Prince William visited New York for the first time.

The royals participated in a number of memorable activities such as taking in an NBA game, hanging out with LeBron James, and hobnobbing with a number of American A-listers.

Not bad for a three-day stay, but it wasn’t until her last night in town that Kate truly experienced the finest that NYC has to offer:

Yes, we’re talking about pizza. The Duchess reportedly has a Ninja Turtle-like jones for cheese and pep’, and sources say sampling some of the city’s iconic thin crust was high on her Big Apple bucket list.

So on her last night stateside, Kate dialed up Manhattan eatery Serafina and had “three very specific pizzas” delivered to her room at the Carlyle Hotel.

Hopefully, she found that unlike a marriage proposal from Prince William, pizza delivery in the US requires very little waiting.

And what does a Duchess get for toppings? According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly,Kate ordered a spicy sausage pizza with no mushrooms, a prosciutto pizza with no sliced tomatoes, and a third mystery pie.

Sounds like risky business, considering Kate’s recovering from hyperemisis gravidarum – a condition characterized by intense nausea and vomiting. But hey, the woman’s love of ‘za knows no bounds and we respect that:

The five-months pregnant Kate reportedly ate pizza as her first meal after giving birth to Prince George. She’s also been spotted buying frozen pizzas at UK grocery stores.

Pause for a moment and try to imagine what frozen pizza made in England must taste like. And you didn’t think it was possible to feel pity for a future queen!

We hope that Kate not only enjoyed the pie, but that it left her with a better understanding of the American obesity epidemic. It’s not easy to stay so thin when you have options other than blood sausage and bread pudding, is it, Kate?
