Chefs in Naples have made a 1,853.88 metre pizza and brought the Guinness World Record back to the home of the pizza.
The ABC reports that the previous longest pizza record of 1,595.45 metres was set at last year’s World Expo in Milan.
More than 200 chefs took 11 hours to create the extra-long pizza. They cooked it in five specially-made portable wood fire ovens and used 2,000 kg of flour, 1,600 kg of tomatoes, 2,000 kg of fiordilatte cheese and 200 litres of olive oil.
According to Guinness World Records, the record breaking feat took place during the ‘L’Unione Fa La Pizza’ event. It was organised by Oramata, the company behind Napoli Pizza Village, in partnership with Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani, City of Naples, and Univerde Foundation.
