Pizzeria creates a 340' long pizza for the firefighters battling brushfires

Young happy people eating pizza during the night on a terrace.

They’re cheering for this pizza like it’s the finish line of a race. But it’s more like an assembly line. You’re looking at a Margherita pizza that’s 338 feet long. For comparison’s sake, the length of an entire football field is 360 feet. Why the need for such a big pizza? It was all to raise money for firefighters battling the destructive and deadly bushfires in Australia. Pellegrini’s Italian restaurant in a Sydney suburb was behind the idea – and the oven. Reuters got video of the whole thing. You can see the pizza being rolled out in rectangular portions – think just over three feet a piece – and then pieced together with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce before being baked in a conveyor oven. The masterpiece took four hours. Four-thousand slices were served to folks who donated to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.
