When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.
Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.
He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.
'It's surreal, it's a huge honour,' said Mr Sommers, who owns Pi restaurant in St Louis.
'It will be a casual lunch and hopefully we'll have a chance to say hello to the president.'
Mr Somers was accompanied by this business parnter Ryan Mangilardo who will help prepare the dinner for 140 this evening.
It will feature his signature dishes - ten deep dish and ten thin crust creations.
He is also planning a pizza especially for the president - the Hyde Park topped with chicken and hot sauce.

Good job Obama. That is one American you have seen is employed,now how about the other 13-14 million?
Change we can believe in.
Upon seeing your post, I sent an email to my b/f ordering him to forward it to his Obamot friends that would make your hair fall out.
If I post it here, I’ll get banned.
I don’t see why he couldnt just send out for pizza like the rest of us poor schmucks do but then i realised how pretentious up his own ass, the guy is.
I mean flying someone in for 20 piza’s, shitloads of money, phoning Lou’s pizzeria with delivery, 200 dollars.
There really are two Americas forming; one with people who have access to information like this, and the rest with people who get their news from the usual sources that never report on this crap.
I’m assuming that most Americans, like you and me and everyone here, would be outraged at this, but just don’t know about it.
This HAS to be figurative!
Yes, Barry dearest.
I'm in the mood for pizza. Remember that place in St. Louis?
Ooh yes, it was wonderful! Do they deliver?
They will for me! Let's make sure we order enough for the servants. They can eat it in the kitchen.
“I regret that I have only one screen name to give for my country!”
Nothing but the best for the King of America.
Bambi: “It’s good to be king.”
Mr. 0bama and frankly all the Congress Critters need to remember that they are there on the tab and goodwill of the American people. We can change all that in less than two or four years. Indeed in some cases less than that through impeachment.
I think it’s going to be 20 kinds of pizza.
Who knows, maybe the guys will be doing it for free in the White House kitchen, in exchange for the honor of calling their product back home “His Majesty’s Pizza.”
Hmmm but the rest of us can eat frozen pizza since we can’t afford to buy our usual favorite takeout pizza anymore.
The last time someone like him worked an oven, 6 million Jews went up in smoke.
any average american would shudder at the thought, here we are in crisis and should be setting leadership by example, who the hell do you or I know that flies a chef in just to make 20 pizzas for lunch, i mean WTF and i mean seriously WTF, you can get takeaways in on a stretch with people losing jobs and falling disposable income, just, but flying in some pizza guy is taking the complete piss, even if you were paying it yourself which i bet he ain’t.
You have to understand: when Sarah Palin or Nancy Reagan wear expensive attire, they are “a clotheshorse”, wildly spending money on non-necessities. When Mrs. Obama does, its “Oh, how stylish, what a wonderful role model for young women”. When the Reagans mistakenly told some inquirer that their favorite dish was some French item (corrected to mac and cheese), the comparison in our “press” for days was to Marie Antoinette; when the Obamas SPEND A FORTUNE TO fly in a pizza chef, its (if mentioned) ‘how cool”.
pizza with chicken and hot sauce? a twofer as far as racism goes. :P no doubt served up with plenty of grape fanta and watermelon slices.
