Oneyed grand pizza
New York City would a restaurateur take a humble pizza base top it with six kinds of caviar, fresh lobster and creme fraiche, dust it in gold leaf and charge $US1000?
Not even London, according to the pizza's inventer Nino Selimaj, who claims the next most expensive pizza in the world can be found at Gordon Ramsay's Maze Restaurant in London, but he says it costs a comparatively paltry US$193.
"I know this won't be for everyone but there are people in New York who can afford it and once tried, they'll be back for more. It is delicious," Selimaj, who owns six restaurants in the city, told Reuters.
The Luxury Pizza, as it has been christened, will be available at only one of Selimaj's eateries - Nino's Bellissima in Manhattan - and will need to be ordered 24 hours ahead to ensure the caviars, including Russian beluga, black beluga, royal sevruga and osetra, arrive on time.
If you can't afford the $US1000 ($1270) pizza, even if it's split eight ways which works out to just at $US125 ($158) a slice, why not check out some of Taste.com.au's pizzas?
Guaranteed you'll get plenty of change from a grand if you make a pizza supreme (pictured) or a potato and rocket pizza. You could even afford to make a strawberry sundae or 800 with what's left
