Some say it’s St. Lawrence, the patron saint of cooking in general.
But I found this page:


Now trying to identify the actual saint…

Edited to add, not a saint but apparently the Bishop-Count of Noyon (France), holding a baldric, as portrayed around 1500.
Guess we are back to the drawing board on the patron saint of pizza. It would have to be an Italian saint anyway.

On Pinterest, I saw that Saint Antonio Abbate is the patron saint of pizza. I could find nothing to verify it on Google, though.
 
St. Anthony Abbot (Antonio Abbate) is the patron saint of hearth embers, so one could say he’s the patron saint of the brick oven the pizza goes in. Not sure about the actual pizza though.
 
I think it might be one of the lesser known Caesars of Rome.

Don’t tell me pizza is pagan.
Maybe if Pope Francis gets canonized, he can be the pizza saint. I seem to recall he has it on his birthday, and this place is across the street from the Vatican.(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
