The World's Most Humongous Pizza

When YouTube creator Airrack threw a pizza party at age eight, nobody showed up. To get the ultimate revenge on that childhood disappointment, he teamed up with Pizza Hut to throw the biggest pizza party the world had ever seen.

A massive crew worked for 48 hours straight at the Los Angeles Convention Center. They painstakingly laid down 13,653 pounds of dough, 4,948 pounds of sauce, and a mind-boggling 630,496 pieces of pepperoni to build the gigantic pie.

Because no oven on Earth could fit the creation, engineers invented a special hovering cooking machine that floated over the pizza to bake it. Afterward, all 68,000 delicious slices were safely donated to local food charities.

How Is That Even Possible?

Scaling up a pizza this much requires extreme culinary engineering. Because the team couldn't put it in a giant oven, they deployed a custom rig equipped with hovering heating elements that slowly moved across the raw ingredients, safely baking the dough and melting the cheese from above.
