The best pizzeria in Europe is giving away free pizza on London's South Bank next week
What's better than pizza? Free pizza. Next week Napoli on The Road – which came first at last month's 50 Top Pizza Europa Awards – will be handing out thousands of slices of free margherita pizza on the South Bank from a nifty Napoli on the Road van. This cheesy giveaway will take place on Tuesday July 29 and Wednesday July 30, from 11am-7pm, at Observation Point near Gabriel's Wharf. To what do we owe such an honour? We can thank tomatoes, specifically Italian tinned tomato brand Mutti, whose tomato sauce will take pride of place on the pizza slices. Mutti will also be dishing out free samples of its new garlic pasta sauce. Napoli On The Road - which has outlets in Chiswick and Richmond – won the title of Pizza of the Year 2025 at the Pizza Europa Awards for its signature pizza Ricordi d'Infanzia, which is topped with slow-cooked ragu with beef, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, fondue and basil. Napoli on the Road was set up by pizzaiolo Michele Pascarella, who hails from Maddaloni, near Naples. Pascarella was also named World Pizza Maker of the Year 2023 by 50 Top Pizza and Best International Pizza Maker 2024 by the Accademia Nazionale Pizza DOC.

Struthers Wildcats come together to help young student
STRUTHERS, Ohio (WKBN) — Sometimes students need a little motivation to get to school, and that's exactly what Struthers High School football coach John Pascarella provided for one student. After hearing a young Wildcat was struggling with going to kindergarten, he wanted to help. Knowing the student looked up to the football team, he created a 4-and-a-half-minute video in which Pascarella and the players shared words of encouragement and support. 'I figured, just do a quick video for him and get the big guys involved, and the rest was history. They did a really good job with it,' Pascarella said. Some players even shared their experience of kindergarten as part of the video. 'It's OK to, you know, be sad that your parents aren't there, but realizing that you have people there who love you just as much and who care for you just as much, it really helps you get through school,' said Christian Pascarella, a Struthers football said it worked; the student didn't have trouble making it to school the next day. 'It feels really good to know that one small thing can have such a big difference,' he said. The players were relieved they were able to uplift another Wildcat, too. 'I felt like I did something like [good], and as soon as Pasc told us that the kid, you know, was able to go to school the next day — no problems — it made me feel really good about what we did,' said Michael Scavnicky, a linebacker/fullback. While Pascarella is hoping to win games next fall, he is also hoping to teach important life lessons to his players. 'They're starting to realize that something small like that can have such a huge impact, so we'll take that victory right now,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
