One hundred Neapolitan pizza makers made a new world record today for a fried pizza - 7.15 metres long.
The traditional Neapolitan "fried" pizza is a circular closed pizza with cheese and other ingredients inside.
After rolling out the dough, the pizzamakers in Naples put the ingredients inside, closed it back up and dip the filled dough in a long vat of boiling oil.
The effort took hours.
The "pizzaioli" used 83 kilos of flour, 50 kilos of mozzarella cheese, 15 kilos of ricotta cheese, seven kilos of tomato sauce, 15 kilos of small pieces of lard, known as "ciccioli" and some basil leaves and pepper.
In December 2017 the art of the "Pizzaioli" - the Neapolitan pizzamakers - was added to the list of "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" by the UN.
