The Largest Gluten Free Pizza. (2012)

A new record has been reclaimed by the originator of pizza. The Italians had again made us awe as they have broken the record of having the largest gluten free pizza that is around 131-foot long.

The people responsible for the world beating record were five Italian chefs led by Dovilio Nardi, a pizza chain maker who was providing service for those with celiac disease, and Dr. Schar, a gluten-free food company was the organizer.

Over 19,800 pounds of flour was used, 10,000 pounds of tomato sauce were spread, 8,800 pounds of mozzarella cheese were topped and mixed in the pizza were 1,488 pounds of margarine, 551 pounds of rock salt, 220 pounds of lettuce and 55 pounds of vinegar. Overall, it weighed 51,257 pounds.

Baking the dough alone took 2 days to bake in 5,000 batches and the whole process was very long but when they broke the record, everything was worth it.

Previously, the record holder was back in 1990, holding a 122 feet big pizza made by Norwood Pick’n Pay hypermarket in South Africa. Now, the Italians hold the record, exceeding over 9 feet from the previous record and was entitled “Ottvia, an homage to the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.”
