Mulberry Street Pizzeria's Richie Palmer Takes THR's Taste Test

Richie Palmer -- ex-husband of Raquel Welch and longtime friend of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mickey Rourke -- is best known for his own role as the impresario behind the mini-chain Mulberry Street Pizzeria. The Beverly Hills-based business (which turns 20 Wednesday, Oct. 3) has delivered to everyone from Frank Sinatra to Frankie Valli. These days, Drew Barrymore, David Beckham and Zac Efron come by for pies. To celebrate the big anniversary, Palmer’s offering slices for 20 cents all day, and revealing what he’d have as his last meal (hint: it’s not pizza).
