A BIG PIZZA PIE PARTY: Federico Castelluccio, aka Furio Giunta from HBO's hit show “The Sopranos,” made a special pilgrimage from New Jersey to the Hub — all in the name of pizza. The actor was present for the second annual Boston Pizza Festival, which served up unlimited slices of doughy delights made by 30 local vendors. We're told that Castelluccio — a native of Naples, Italy, and therefore an inherent pizza aficionado — was joined by thousands of fellow pielovers who flocked to City Hall Plaza for the saucy festival that took place both Saturday and yesterday. Besides being compelled by the promise of pizza, we hear that Castelluccio also came out to support his close friend, Marco Caputo, who owns MAST’ Restaurant and Drinkery, a pizzeria located in Downtown Crossing that's certified by the highly respected Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. Other Boston-based pizza places participating in the two-day party included Antico Forno, Bricco, Babbo Pizzeria e Enoteca, Oath Pizza, The Upper Crust Pizzeria and Wicked Cheesy.
LEI-ING LOW: Nantucket crooner Meghan Trainor and her fiance, actor Daryl Sabara, just celebrated two years together with an action-packed getaway in Oahu, Hawaii. The singer, who's recently revealed that she and Sabara want to exchange vows during a backyard ceremony at her Los Angeles pad around Christmastime, was all smiles as she flaunted a new gift from her betrothed: a massive diamond ring that she sported on the middle finger of her right hand. The couple also spent their anniversary exploring their island surroundings by ziplining through Ka'a'awa Valley, which has served as a filming location for countless Hollywood classics. During their tour, they visited the fallen tree from “Jurassic Park” and posed for pics among the massive dinosaur bone props that still remain from the movie. Their other stops may have included seeing Godzilla's footprints, venturing down the roads that served as backdrops for “50 First Dates” and “You, Me and Dupree,” checking out where “Mighty Joe Young” was housed, exploring the battlegrounds from “Windtalkers” and drooling over the lush landscape featured in “Lost.”
