There she is, Miss America...with a meatball in her mouth?!

The 2013 Miss America contestants got saucy and stuffed their pretty faces with Italian food during a pre-pageant feast at Buca di Beppo restaurant in Las Vegas.

In the fun pre-competition Saturday night event, the 53 gals took part in Buca's marinara handprint ceremony before dining on the restaurant's signature dishes, such as spaghetti and half pound meatballs, caprese salad, chicken limone, and colossal brownie sundaes.
