Food fit for a king: NYC eatery sells pizza for $2,000
January 11, 2017
New York City’s Industry Kitchen has whipped up a new pizza that swanks English white stilton cheese, French foie gras and truffles, Ossetra caviar fished from the Caspian, and 24-karat Ecuadorian gold flakes – making it a meal deemed fit for a king.
The rose petal-covered delicacy is priced at a hefty $2,000, and looks quite minimalist without sauces and veggies. Just like any other pizza, it is cut into eight slices, effectively coming down to approximately $50 a bite.
The pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven, and requires a 48-hour advance order. It is made on a black squid ink dough, according to website Thrillist.
In an interview to Town & Country, head chef Braulio Bunay said that the city's Financial District was his inspiration behind the pizza. He added that it is perfect for those who are “in the mood for a lavish meal.”
Attempts to create the most extravagant food have not been unheard of. Early last year, a $100 doughnut caught the attention of foodies, while a $900 cupcake – with diamonds as an ingredient – surfaced in 2014.
