Drav...do you know about this place? (I got an email from my youngest, who inherited her "pizza gene" from her father.) :)

(And yes, I'm perfectly well aware of the fact that you're from Philly and this is in Pittsburgh and they're two different places....) :)

Pa. Pizzeria Goes for Record-Size Pizza

PITTSBURGH (AP) - A pizzeria is vying for a spot in Guinness World Records for the world's largest commercially available pizza. The $99, 150-slice pizza isn't a one-time deal. In fact, The Big One is already available, though Mama Lena's Pizza House has had few takers so far.

The would-be recordsetter measures about 3 feet by 4 1/2 feet and takes up nearly all the space in the shop's brick oven.

The current record holder is a 4-foot diameter pizza offered by Paul Revere's Pizza in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Dubbed the Ultimate Party Pizza, it uses more than 10 pounds of dough, 48 ounces of sauce and about five pounds of cheese.

A tip for Mama Lena customers: Call ahead. The Big One takes about 15 minutes to prepare and another 20 to 25 minutes to bake, said Rob Carrabbia, whose wife, Wendy, owns the pizzeria in the suburban Pittsburgh town of McKees Rocks.

"The only way you're looking to order it is if you want a big pizza," Carrabbia said.

Mama Lena's was already offering a 30-inch by 30-inch, 64-slice pizza when Carrabbia read about the current record holder in a trade magazine and figured he could beat it.

"If I'm already making one this big, I can make one another half as big again," he said.

The pizza has been on the menu for more than a year. So far, about 10 have been sold, including for birthday parties and to a school for its basketball team.

"It's 20 pounds of dough, it's a 1 gallon of sauce, 15 pounds of cheese and a lot of tender love and care," Carrabbia said Monday. "We cook the old fashion way, stone and cornmeal."

Carrabbia said Guinness requires that the pizza's making be videotaped and witnessed by a public official. He planned to attempt the record Monday.

Besides the novelty, Carrabbia said anyone who orders The Big One is getting a bargain.

"It's less than a dollar a slice" for a plain cheese pizza, he said. Toppings are extra and a white pizza - no red sauce, but garlic, cheese and marinated tomatoes - costs $120.99.

The category is different from the world's largest pizza. That record was set in 1990 in South Africa, where Norwood Hypermarket made a pizza 122 feet, eight inches in diameter, using 9,920 pounds of flour, 3,968 pounds of cheese and 1,984 pounds of sauce.

For its 50th anniversary in 1994, Guinness named that pizza one of its top 10 most astounding feats.

oh my God... now I know what I want for supper!!!!
That looks gooooood. :)

It does look yummy! :hungry:

My husband likes to tell the story of "The Couple That Almost Wasn't."
Early in our dating experience he asked me if I liked pizza. Having no forewarning to the fact that my husband wasn't just an afficianodo, he was a flat-out junkie, I answered honestly. "Not particularly," I said. He actually froze. I mildly recovered and muttered something about not really having had all that much of it. He regarded me and said "I'll bet you're one of those people that eats it with a knife and fork." Well. As a matter of fact...I was. One of the things I didn't like about pizza was that there was no way to eat it tidily in public. *sigh* And thus began year upon year, decade upon decade of every single "special day" celebrated with frigging pizza.

It was QB who saved my life. We were over there one evening, and she ordered pizza. Pepperoni for my husband, and tomato and mushroom, the way she liked it. Hozanna, my tastebuds sang. I discovered that it wasn't "pizza" I didn't like...it was pepperoni on a pizza that I despised. I'm a "veggie" pizza person. So, instead of being the "odd man out" in my pizza hosing family, I'm now just someone who prefers a different topping on hers. (Thanks, QB, always!) :)

I'd still rather have Chinese food, though.

I've always wanted a pizza I could swim in. :D

hehehehe Nice find, Morgan! :)

Shit, that was huge! :D
