$1,000 Pizza? I can do better!

1000 USD Pizza A gourmet restaurant in NYC is introducing a decadent pie with the pricetag of $1,000. Yes, that’s right.

Forget traditional cheese and pizza sauce, the record-priced pie will be topped with creme fraiche, chives, eight ounces of four different kinds of Petrossian caviar, four ounces of thinly sliced Maine lobster tail, salmon roe, and a little bit of spice with wasabi.

And unlike your typical pizza, this one won’t be cooked, after all, that would spoil the fish. The 12-inch pie is sliced into four pieces, which comes to $250 per slice.

Bah. I can make you a great pizza. I’ll charge, ooh a base price of $45 on up, depending on ingredients. (Or a mere $10, for a simpler, average-joe pie.)

My pizza will use Boboli pizza crust, no not something I make myself, because that crust is the best. Mmm.

Then, I will crush tomatoes finely - or leave light chunks if you prefer, for the sauce. If you don’t want tomato sauce, how about taco or barbecue sauce? Those will make for fun & tasty pizzas, with the right ingredients.

Cheese - a mixture of brie, mozzarella and cheddar!

For toppings, oh I have choices:

Chopped prime rib
Freshly cut pineapple
Real bacon pieces with only red meat, no white fat at all. Picked apart with care.
Extra large deli pepperoni
Sliced chicken breast covered in honey barbecue sauce
Sliced chicken breast covered in honey mustard sauce
Sliced salmon covered in honey mustard sauce
Mix of fruits: cantaloupe, pitted cherry, pear, peach and pineapple (suggested on a white pizza)
Pineapple and orange
Lobster pieces, sure, I’ll throw that in, but unlike Nino’s Bellisima, I think the lobster needs to be the only topping.
Vegetables - oh sure, like what? All fresh
