Rihanna remains the ultimate relatable superstar—grabbing pizza with friends like any New Yorker while maintaining her empire-building mogul status. The 38-year-old continues to prove she's accessible despite billionaire status.
The real story? Ri was still going strong at WXOU Radio Bar past 3 a.m., handing out slices in sunglasses indoors. That's dedication—or denial about needing sleep. Meanwhile, Andrew Lloyd Webber almost killed the whole DJ set when his generator crapped out mid-set on West 44th Street.
Rihanna was at Made In New York Pizza last Friday night (approximately May 30, 2026). She ordered 'a variety of pies' including pepperoni and vodka sauce selections. Andrew Lloyd Webber DJed as 'DJ Webz' outside Broadhurst Theatre on May 29 to celebrate 'Cats: The Jellicle Ball,' which received nine Tony nominations. Police dispersed the outdoor crowd around 12:30 a.m.
From pizza slices handed out at 4 a.m. to Broadway legends spinning records in the street, Manhattan's celebrity scene proves sometimes the most dramatic moments happen when nobody's supposed to be watching—or when the generator decides to quit.
When Rihanna wants pizza, apparently she goes full New Yorker. The "Diamonds" singer was spotted grabbing a late-night bite at Made In New York Pizza in the West Village last Friday night, and sources told Page Six that the 38-year-old ordered "a variety of pies" including their pepperoni and vodka sauce selections. But Ri wasn't keeping these slices for herself—no, she brought them across the street to WXOU Radio Bar to hand out complimentary slices to guests.
The pop superstar was described as "incredibly friendly with the staff and all guests," posing for photos while wearing sunglasses indoors with her cheesy prizes. Here's where things get interesting: Rihanna and her crew proceeded to party at WXOU Radio Bar until nearly 4 a.m., proving that even billionaires can't resist a good pizza crawl. The timing is particularly noteworthy given she's been relatively low-key lately—this kind of late-night energy suggests either excellent stamina or the kind of schedule that only makes sense when you're answerable to no one.
Meanwhile, across town on May 29th, "Cats" legend Andrew Lloyd Webber proved he's not just about phantom masks and theatrical grandeur. Performing under the DJ alias "DJ Webz," the composer stopped traffic on West 44th Street outside the Broadhurst Theatre with a post-show set celebrating "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" and its impressive nine Tony nominations. Spies told Page Six that Webber spun tunes alongside DJ Bill Coleman, joined by cast members and icons from New York's ballroom scene as fans packed the entire block.
But the outdoor celebration nearly lost one of its nine lives when the setup overpowered the generator, briefly threatening to silence the whole affair. Someone managed to restore power just in time, and the crowd returned to street dancing until police finally dispersed everyone around 12:30 a.m. Webber's DJ career apparently began down the block on the same 44th Street when "The Phantom of the Opera" reopened post-pandemic, which has since led to bookings in Ibiza and Las Vegas.
Other notable sightings from that chaotic week in Manhattan included "Summer House" star KJ Dillard linking up with Joshua Bassett at Kid Cudi's Madison Square Garden concert last Thursday—celebrating the rapper officially joining We Are Enough, Blake Mycoskie's foundation focused on healing and emotional well-being. Broadway also came together at Sardi's Restaurant to honor Shoshana Bean with her portrait on the wall, attended by Pink and daughter Willow, Billy Porter, Joe Locke, Dylan Mulvaney, Jordan Fisher, Victor Garber, Ben Vereen, Eden Espinosa, Donna Murphy, and JoJo.
Rihanna's West Village pizza adventure stands out as the most dramatically humanizing moment of the bunch—a billionaire acting exactly like a New Yorker who just wants good food at 2 a.m. Whether that's refreshing authenticity or simply excellent brand management depends on how cynical you're feeling today.
