150-slice pizza anytime

If you ask me, creating giant foods just once to get in the record books is getting a little old. However, a pizzeria in Pennsylvania is hoping to set a record by making their giant, 150-slice, 3' by 4.5', $99 pizzas for anybody that wants one. Known as The Big One, this gigantic pizza from Mama Lena's Pizza House in the Pittsburgh suburb of McKees Rocks uses 20 pounds of dough, 15 pounds of cheese and a gallon of sauce, according to a recent AP article. The current record holder, a pizzeria in Iowa, has a pizza with specs about half that size. Mama Lena's has sold about 10 Big Ones in the last year.
