Yes, they are available at the link she gave. I wish there had been a

more straight down view or a close-up view. From the photo the pizza looked
very realistic in its cardboard pizza box. Probably the best imitation item
from her group, so far.


The way they apparently presented them was good, also. With a modern
pizza delivery person in mundane clothes (a uniform?) complete with insulated,
plastic pizza carry bag. So, as much as I applaud the effort and the authentic
looking pizza, I do have mixed feelings on this particular stunt.
It was very much a modern day joke and if your primary interest in the SCA is
to do period re-creation it could have been a bit jarring. It didn't look like
it had been presented during Court, though.
