NJ shop serves pizza to World Cup winners

NEW JERSEY (WABC) -- The Spanish soccer team arrived home to a hero's welcome after winning the 2026 World Cup.

After Sunday's big win, the team had a good old-fashioned New Jersey pizza party at their hotel.

The team ordered dozens of pies from the restaurant "Bagels by Jarrett" in West Orange.

The same restaurant also fed the Norwegian soccer team after their big win against Brazil earlier this month.

The hotel chef contacted 'Bagels by Jarrett' to make 46 pizzas for the Spaniards.

Jarrett and his crew went into overtime to make sure everything was right.

"I heard it was all gone so I'll take that," owner Jarrett Seltzer said.

'Bagels by Jarrett' had some experience feeding a soccer team with Norway, but feeding a champion was extra special.

"This has got to be the peak. I don't see getting any better than this," Seltzer said.
