Simone Biles almost comes to blows with Jimmy Kimmel over pizza

U.S. Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles is busy on her Gold Over America tour, a celebration of female athletes across the country. But she had time to sit down with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night's show, where the two strongly disagreed over Biles' favorite tour meal: pizza.

When in St. Louis, Imo's Pizza is Biles' go-to stop. It happens to be the same for Kimmel's wife — so much so that the late show host got her a box for Valentine's Day one year.

"It's very, very bad pizza," said Kimmel.

"No, it's not! First of all, that's so mean to say," Biles responded.

The two almost came to blows over the contentious pizza until Kimmel surprised Biles with a box (aw!), and all was well.

"It's a perfect 10," the gold medallist gymnast said. We believe you, Simone.
