A New York restauranteur has cooked up the world's most extravagant pizza, a £520 pie topped with six kinds of caviar and fresh lobster.
Nino Selimaj, who runs six pizza restaurants in the Big Apple, unveiled the Luxury Pizza, a 30-centimetre thin crust topped with caviar, lobster, creme fraiche and chives.
Cut into eight, it works out at £65 a slice.
"I know this won't be for everyone, but there are people in New York who can afford it and once tried, they'll be back for more. It is delicious," Mr Selimaj said.
"Some people will say it is just a publicity stunt but I have researched this for over a year and I think there is a demand. I have already sold one."
Mr Selimaj said Nino's Bellissima in Manhattan, the only one of his restaurants to offer the dish, needs 24 hours notice for the gourmet dish because it orders the caviar in advance.
"But where better to experiment with pizza than in New York where people love their pizza?" he said.
If diners are still hungry after the Luxury Pizza, they can always head over to nearby restaurant Serendipity, which sells a £407 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence that is covered in 23 carat edible gold leaf.
