Trump's love of fast food is well-documented. His former aides said that pizza was one of the "major food groups" on Trump Force One, and he even appeared in an ad for Pizza Hut with his ex-wife Ivana in 1995.
However, he has previously said that he doesn't eat pizza crust.
The former president stopped by the eaterie after giving a speech at the Lee County GOP's 2023 Lincoln-Reagan Dinner.
The event included speeches from Rep. Greg Steube, Rep. Byron Donalds, and political operative Roger Stone.
