Accompanied by his security detail, he picked up a couple of slices and garlic knots. Chef Hodza said it was a quick stop for the former Prez, who was all smiles while chatting up the Chef.

Chef Hodza told the Daily Voice he asked how the business was doing and, was super friendly to everyone in the pizzeria, and took time to take photos with the crew. Hodza said he was nice and added, "He can come back anytime."

You gotta wonder what kind of slices the former Prez ordered. I think he went with two plain slices. What do you think? Did he gobble them down as his security detail drove away, or was he saving the two slices and the garlic knots for a romantic rendezvous with Hillary when he arrived home in Chappaqua?
