NYC, NY: Today an ambitious Kickstarter project has been launched, to make the worlds biggest pizza. The pizza, if the project is successful, will be made in New York City at a festival to be held in July to mark the glorious occasion, Pizza Fest NYC 2018.
As to the why? Captain Pizza (Liam McGee), the project’s organizer said “For the love of pizza! Can you have too much pizza? I don’t think so. Pizza is happiness, it brings people together and makes us happy. Pizza and NYC go hand in hand, or pizza in NYC goes in ones hand, then mouth… something like that. This will be a pizza of the largest magnitude, the 8th wonder of the world perhaps.”
To break the current World Record, this pizza will need to stretch (diameter) 42 meters wide, which would have it set a new record at around 1386 square meters. Now that is a big pizza!
The enormous undertaking will devour:
- More than 10,000 pounds of flour
- At least 4,500 pounds of cheese
- Over 2,000 pounds of tomatoes
- As well as a huge amount of oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and basil.
