The most expensive pizza in the world costs $12,000 dollars.

Louis XIII – Salerno, Italy – $12,000

The most expensive pizza in the world was created by Renato Viola for a select crowd in Salerno, a coastal city in Italy. At 20cm, it’s a pizza for two; so in a way this only $6,000 apiece – still the most expensive pizza on the list. The dough is made from organic Arabian flour, is dusted with Murray River pink salt and takes 72-hours to prepare, which allows it time to rest before being cooked.

The toppings are as excessive as you’d expect with three rare types of caviar – Oscietra Royal Prestige, Kaspia Oscietra Royal Classic from the Iranian coast, and Kaspia Beluga – Norwegian lobster and 7 types of cheese.

The pizza is served with a host of hand selected beverages including Champagne Krug Clos du Mesnil 1995 which compliments the lobster and caviar, followed by Carta Real Sanches Romate Finos brandy and Louis XIII cognac – a revered spirit, commonly known as the rarest, most expensive cognac on the market.

The pizza is also prepared and served at your house.
