Yep. To mark Moscow's 859th birthday on September 2, a team of 150 Russian cooks has baked a giant pizza model of the city. Even at a a scale of 1:50,000,000, the pizza is a whopping 22 square meters.

According to Alexei Kasin of Pizza Fabrika, the pizza "is made of 300 individual pieces, and according to the requirements for the (Russian) Book of Records, we entirely cover and cook each piece with cheese so that the surface is ideal.'' The pizza features a replica of key landmarks of the city, including the towers of the Kremlin. The pizza makers used canned corn for the streets, and food-colored mayonnaise for water.

Hey, if people can put kimchee on a pizza, there's nothing wrong with blue mayo!
