Italy Makes World's Longest Pizza

Cooks in Italy just broke what could be the world's tastiest record — with the longest pizza ever made.

More than 60 chefs got together over the week to make a 5,232 foot long pizza -- that's nearly a mile. They used more than 60 pounds of yeast, two tons of tomato sauce, one and a half tons of mozzarella cheese and two tons of flour.

It took 800 tables to hold the giant pie. Thanks to these chefs, Italy has secured its place as the pizza capital of the world. (Spain previously held the record for longest pizza, but that one only measured 3,745 feet.)
