The chefs used five portable wood-fire ovens that cooked all 1,853 meters of the pie after they laid down layers of sauce, fiordilatte cheese, olive oil, and basil.

A pizza stretching more than a kilometre long has broken a world record.
Guinness World Records has officially proclaimed it as the longest pizza ever made. The remaining pizza was handed out to the hungry and others in need at the Camper Onlus Association, the Italian Red Cross and the Chicchi di Grano Association.
The record-breaking snack measured up at exactly 1,853.88 metres, smashing the previous record of 1,595.45 metres set at last year’s World Expo in Milan, Italy’s food and agriculture board Coldiretti said.
The event was organized by Alessandro Marinacci from Naples’ Pizza Village, along with local flour producer Caputo, according to the Daily Mail.
The record attempt was organised so Italy’s Neapolitan pizza-making could be recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as part of the world’s heritage.
It took 250 chefs more than six hours to make the pizza.
