Britney Spears Treats Piece of Me Dancers to This Giant Italian Meal
Does keeping up with Britney Spears on stage work up a major appetite? Maybe so, since the pop star treated the dancers in her Las Vegas show to a family-style dinner on Thursday.
The singer was joined by more than 15 of her dancers at the Italian restaurant Buca di Beppo, where the question to ask is not so much “what did they order?” but, rather, “what didn’t they order?”

Their courses included three types of salad, lemon chicken, salmon, penne alla vodka as well as pepperoni and Margherita pizza.
Somehow the group even saved room for dessert, wrapping up with a double dark chocolate cake, cheesecake and chocolate chip cannolis — but we’re guessing those calories are easily burned off in an hour-long rehearsal.
In between dishing out the entrées herself, Spears gave a toast to her cast in honor of their hard work and the success of her show, Britney: Piece of Me at The Axis in Planet Hollywood.
If you’re hoping for a piece of this meal, PEOPLE got the lemon chicken recipe, which makes a fantastic easy weeknight dinner.
