Did you know...
... that today is the anniversary of the World's Largest Pizza? The world's largest pizza was built on October 11, 1987, by Lorenzo Amato and Louis Piancone. The pizza covered 10,000 square feet and measured 140 feet across. It weighed in at 44,457 pounds and was cut into 94,248 slices and eaten by more than 30,000 spectators in Havana, Florida. Yum!
