Do you share my passion of pizza? Let's begin by discussing the dish's past before delving into the documentation. An iconic Italian dish is pizza. Ancient Greek and Roman cuisine was served on bread slices, and this was the ancestor of pizza. Since Naples hosted the world's first Italian pizza in 1522, cooks have been competing to create the largest pizza.

In 1990, a group from the Norwood Pick n' Pay supermarket in South Africa created a 36-meter-diameter pizza. Thousands of pizza slices were sold, and the proceeds went to charity.
3. 929 square meters, Lorenzo Ristorante Pizza
Twice in his Florida restaurant, Lorenzo Amati set a record for the largest pizza he ever baked, only to have it surpassed twice. Lorenzo created the then-world's largest pizza in 1987; it measured almost 21.9 meters in circumference. The American Red Cross received the proceeds from the sale of pizza.
