Royal fans have been left in stitches at some of the dishes being served up ahead of the coronation weekend, including a pizza shaped like King Charles' face, and 'sausage finger' sandwiches

A pizzeria has gotten into the spirit of The Coronation ahead of the historic weekend, whipping up a pizza inspired by the face of King Charles III, and they're not the only foodies having fun with the theme.

A pic of the crispy dish shows a base shaped like King Charles' face, with onion for hair and blobs of mozzarella for facial features. This face is framed by a pair of exaggerated ears, plus a crunchy chip crown on top for good measure, complete with bright jalapenos.

The pie was whipped up by the team at Villaggio Pizza in Eaglesham near Glasgow, and a pic has since been shared widely online, to widespread amusement.

Owner Gerry Sweeney first made the pizza last week, so he could take pics of his cheesy masterpiece to share on social media ahead of King Charles' Coronation.

Gerry told the Mirror: "We run specials every week. One week it may be a special burger, another week it's a special pizza. So I thought, we might do a special for The Coronation this week. So it was just a wee bit of fun!"

This isn't the first time Villaggio Pizza has gotten creative with their pizzas. They've previously made people's faces out of dough, including special birthday messages, and baked up spooky pumpkin pizzas for Halloween.

"They were laughing, taking photographs, and sending them to their family and friends down south. It's been well received!"

Many others were left chuckling away after a pic was shared on Reddit, hailing it as "hilarious" and a "pizza fit for a king".

Another person has shared their 'sausage hands' sandwich, which even includes cherry tomato slice cufflinks and a ring made from what appears to be cheese.

In a tweet that has since gone viral, the amused social media user wrote: "Just woke up to this absolute beauty mum spent most of the night creating, pretty sure it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. He even has a ring on one of his sausage fingers!"
