$99, 150-slice pizza. Numerous uneaten slices in trash heard to sing "all we are is crust in the bin"

Pa. Pizzeria Goes for Record-Size Pizza

Mar 20, 6:48 PM ET

PITTSBURGH - A pizzeria is vying for a spot in Guinness World Records for the world's largest commercially available pizza. The $99, 150-slice pizza isn't a one-time deal. In fact, The Big One is already available, though Mama Lena's Pizza House has had few takers so far.

The would-be recordsetter measures about 3 feet by 4 1/2 feet and takes up nearly all the space in the shop's brick oven.

The current record holder is a 4-foot diameter pizza offered by Paul Revere's Pizza in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Dubbed the Ultimate Party Pizza, it uses more than 10 pounds of dough, 48 ounces of sauce and about five pounds of cheese.

A tip for Mama Lena customers: Call ahead. The Big One takes about 15 minutes to prepare and another 20 to 25 minutes to bake, said Rob Carrabbia, whose wife, Wendy, owns the pizzeria in the suburban Pittsburgh town of McKees Rocks.

"The only way you're looking to order it is if you want a big pizza," Carrabbia said.

Mama Lena's was already offering a 30-inch by 30-inch, 64-slice pizza when Carrabbia read about the current record holder in a trade magazine and figured he could beat it.

"If I'm already making one this big, I can make one another half as big again," he said.

The pizza has been on the menu for more than a year. So far, about 10 have been sold, including for birthday parties and to a school for its basketball team.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Mama Lena's is in McKees Rocks for anyone looking for it.

I would have to borrow my brother-in-law's pickup truck to haul that bad boy home. It might be nice for an office party, though.

I guess people who order that pizza are the same who order the 15 lb. burger at that place in PA.

LOL! This Pizza place is in the Pittsburgh area, the burger place was in the Philly region, noticing a trend?
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I'd rather fall into chocolate.
