And here you are thinking New York City was the pizza capital of the world... well, think again.
Just recently, eighty Italian pizza makers in Milan, working with a system of movable ovens, created a mega margherita pizza--measuring nearly one mile-- for a new Guinness World Record. Incredible, right?
lmsobko ROME (AP) — The wait was on the long side for the pizza -- 18 hours -- but this was an extraordinary pie: 1.59545 kilometers, or nearly a mile long. More than 60 of Italy's best pizza-makers worked through the night to create the pizza at Milan's world fair, Expo 2015. Their toil was rewarded with a proclamation by Guinness World Records judge Saturday that it was the world's longest pizza. Expo organizers said the record-setting pie, made with 1.5 tons of mozzarella and 2 tons of tomato sauce, weighed some 5 tons in all. #PizzaPizzaPizza #YUM #1MilePizza 😍😍😍😍😍
