Default Another pizza thread...would you pay a grand?

So this particular one comes with a $1,000 price tag and can be found in Manhatten. 4 types of rare caviar as well as salmon roe and premium lobster tail.



http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/...ve_food/5.html

And this one weighs out at 10 lbs, 22", stuffed, and 99% of the two man challengers have failed....better be hungry. Adam Richman of Man vs Food takes it on in this video.

Meh, I'd take a plain cheese Grimaldis over a fancy pie any day of the week. Some things were meant to be simple.

hmmm...endangered species pizza.....

Seriously though the best pizza I've ever had has been at random little shops and cost less than 2 dollars a slice.

Why is it called pie? Theres no fruit filling.

And no. $1000 for a pizza is a ###### tax.

I don't think I'd have much of a problem with half of that stuffed pizza.

And I'd pay more for the stuffed pizza than that other thing... seafood doesn't belong on pizza.

You'd sell pizza for a grand too if you had to pay Vincent Price to pimp it.

I'm pretty sure the $1000 pizza doesn't exist anymore, things like that were pretty popular in NYC just before the bubble burst but they've all but disappeared.

Or Shepherd's pie! My mom got me all excited with that when I was a kid only to shatter my dreams with vegetables & hamburger. I was not impressed.

Pizza should never, ever be referred to as pie.

Obviously you've never tasted Marmite. It still proves your point though.

I dunno, Yorkshire puddings are pretty boss even if the term pudding is a bit misleading.

Pizza should never be referred to as a pie, BTW. Pizza pie is an antiquated term from the Honeymooners years along with icebox and television set.

I like how that guy with the $1000 pizza has a little American flag pin on his jacket so people don't mistake him for being French.

I wouldn't mistake him for being French, I'd mistake him for being a pizza-peddling vampire.

I don't get the "pizza so big you can't eat it" deal - I could bake a pizza the size of a horse and nobody could finish that either.

Or is the challenge to make the pizza just ever so slightly bigger than two people can manage, rather than grotesquely oversized?

Some people can't differentiate between different types of ######bags.
