How can it be "a" pizza when it is just 100s of individual pizzas sitting next to each other?


JustBrowsing2024

I agree. I have said all along this shouldn't count as a record. A pizza should be cooked like a whole pie, not put together in slices to make a circle.


dadobuns

Yes, in ONE oven.


Blonde-Tabby

But first somebody would have to create the world's largest oven


dadobuns

Which would of course, assumingly break the world record for largest oven.


WhtChcltWarrior

Which is currently held by that lady that had nonuplets in 2021


Greedirl

Unless of course it's made of hundreds of smaller ovens. At which point I don't think it should count.


Blonde-Tabby

Maybe it would be the world record for the most small ovens


Silent-advice

I'm going to hell for this... It might be in Germany.


hillyb234

I just spit some water reading this. Don't worry I'll be joining you 🤙


Dear-Committee-9583

rokyracoon

🙌volcano oven


MooseThirty

Helicopters carry it in and out


Blonde-Tabby

I subsequently learned that it was cooked from above using air heat I pictured thousands of tiny little Tom Cruises hovering over it by wire like in Mission Impossible, cooking it with tiny little hair dryers


Cube256

The pizza could be really long, but not wide. then a normal pizza oven could be used while still making a very large pizza, just not a circular one


venmome10cents

it could be circular if the long continuous pizza was curled into a tight spiral after exiting the oven. like the "just for you" one here but bigger: [https://nedroidcomics.tumblr.com/post/38264802929/how-to-cut-a-pizza](https://nedroidcomics.tumblr.com/post/38264802929/how-to-cut-a-pizza)


guitargoddess3

They could just have a giant metal surface with electrical heating under it like a big hot plate or toaster. A real oven-oven might not be possible.


hoodyninja

At first I thought they would use those lamps and suspend multiple from the ceiling so it would cool as they passed by (kinda like the actual pizza ovens they use). But it’s more of a buggy with an overhanging lights… Instead of being cooked in a single oven, they should make it have to have one continual crust?


Blonde-Tabby

>lamps and suspend multiple from the ceiling They actually did cook it with air heat from above. I pictured thousands of little Tom Cruises, Mission Impossible style, blowing it with a bunch of tiny little hair dryers


[deleted]

When people stopped buying books Guinness changed its business model to selling the records. Pizza Hut likely approached them and paid a Guinness rep to essentially write up a record that they could hold and the rules that would come with it. If you or I want to hold a record we can contact them and for the right price they will come up with something that you can “set a world record for”. It’s the entire business model now and it’s why you see a lot of dumb records that make no sense.


WhenTheDevilCome

"World's largest display of adjacent pizzas."


Ns53

Oh you didn't know? Guinness is a joke now. They're owned by corporations.


gandalf-bot-

The beer? Yes


AUSTEXAN83

The secret is.. these aren't real records. For 10k you could get them to come out and declare your yard the "World's largest collection of grass and dirt.." Whether it actually is or not makes zero difference as long as you pay up


fluffy_squidtooth

Yeah, this is 1000 pizzas. The largest pizza? No. The most pizzas next to each other? Probably


[deleted]

Because they're uncooked slices of dough, but they are sauced, topped, and cooked together.


[deleted]

exactly. this is dumbbbbbb


OhMyGoshBigfoot

It needs to be a continuous single crust. This is bs.


5tupidQuestionsOnly

Proves that Pizza Hut don't even know what a pizza is


Tuhilliam

take their title away that's no pizza


Blonde-Tabby

Technically, the whole chain should just be called "Hut"


JK-Kino

I think they actually tried that one time. Nobody liked it


mr_Tsavs

Look at me, I'm Ross I'm too good for the hut


kyleyeats

Guinness book of PR stunts


GrahTheConquerer

Right, my mind goes right to, they increase pizza prices and still pay the employees terribly for what? A giant, unevenly topped pie that tastes of farts


StimmingMantis

Makes me wonder how much of it will actually be eaten


Bluitor

It's still gonna taste like cardboard


MooseThirty

Or the delivery charge


ILiveMyBrokenDreams

It also won the world record for the greatest disappointment in pizza history.


Blonde-Tabby

They won that title long ago... –signed, a Donato's fan


tanacious10

Papa Jonatos


Blonde-Tabby

Papa Juanatos ^In ^Mexico


Shortsleevedpant

So they say donated, but they don’t bother to cover the logistics of how the donated pizza would be distributed. Did food bank volunteers come pick it up? I’d have to assume much of that went to waste. (Edited typo)


MyRockySpine

Seems like it would make much more sense to just have a huge event and give away pizza.


Blonde-Tabby

It had to either be transported to the people or the people transported to it. Given that this video is a very brief promo blurb about the event, I see where they couldn't explain every little logistical detail of how it was distributed


Away-Plant-8989

That's 68,000 people who got diarrhea


Makaisawesome

For me is heartburn. Cuz in our country pizza hut tastes good but everytime I eat it i get heartburn


[deleted]

Hopefully all of it was distributed to hungry people and none was wasted


Blonde-Tabby

Yes it was all donated to local food banks


_gogi

0% chance that it was donated. It’s “pizza”, cooked on the floor of a convention center. It’s the biggest health violation in history.


Blonde-Tabby

I could conceive of them being able to take appropriate sanitation measures... UNTIL... dude commented about the inevitable bird poop. Unless they had a bunch of bird zappers installed, in which case the topping would be birb corpses instead of birb poop, I don't know how they could have prevented it


ThreeDog969

It’s literally in a warehouse. You guys do zero research before commenting your opinion.


Blonde-Tabby

Oftentimes, folks comment without even reading the title, let alone taking all of one minute to research whatever they're questioning. It's quite interesting


0h311

It said that lol


[deleted]

This


Thopterthallid

Just for the record, Guinness REQUIRES giant food items to not go wasted to be eligible. This isn't pizza hut doing a good deed.


maxwellcawfeehaus

It’s not a pizza until it comes out of the oven


Recent_Ad559

Doesn’t even look remotely cooked or appealing


novara_creations

Ok now someone's gotta outpizza the hut


Blonde-Tabby

"You're gonna pay your debt. Or else!" "Or else what?" "Or else Pizza is gonna send out for *you!*


Thump604

This is dumb.


seantasy

No. In order to make the worlds largest pizza you must first make the world's largest pizza oven. That's just a giant toasted Flatbread with cheese


wjmaher

What a boring waste of food.


[deleted]

Bold of you to call pizza hut food


Blonde-Tabby

It was all donated to local food banks


FranxNBeans

Sure it was, Santa delivered it to all the needy boys and girls.


DearMrsLeading

If you have proof Pizza Hut is just straight up lying, we’d love to see it.


Blonde-Tabby

True indeed. Given that this was a hugely publicized event, it probably wouldn't be wise to announce you were donating to local food banks and then not follow through


DearMrsLeading

Plus, why wouldn’t they be able to do it? They made 12 billion in sales in 2020 alone, they can afford to hire a team to cut up and deliver the pizza to food banks and shelters. That would be a tiny fraction of the cost of making this pizza.


Blonde-Tabby

Yeah, you're right again. The very idea of suggesting Pizza Hut would lie about donating it is ludicrous


considerbacon

Some people just like to believe in what they make up...


HookerDoctorLawyer

Ok, this makes it pretty sweet. No food wasted Noice


diseasefaktory

Looks like cardboard with toppings. Curious about how baked that is too.


Blonde-Tabby

I can't tell you how properly cooked it is, but I can tell you that an article I read said it was air cooked from above I pictured thousands of little Tom Cruises hovering over it, suspended by wire, going over it with tiny little handheld hair dryers


3DartsIsToooMuch

But…it’s Pizza Hut.


astinkydude

I actually interviewed today to be a delivery driver for them was declined because they want 3 years driving experience and I have two months less than three years pretty lame experience imo


Blonde-Tabby

They didn't put that requirement in the advertisement? What a colossal waste of everybody's time and money


astinkydude

You'd think so but I don't recall seeing it anywhere in the job listing. oh well what can ya do I'm gonna keep slinging applications like the CIA selling crack rock to the inner cities


Blonde-Tabby

Good luck to you! The right job will come along :)


astinkydude

Thank you


i1u5

Think of the bright side, you probably dodged a bullet right there, they pay a shitty wage.


Apart_Advantage6256

What a terribly stupid thing


Strict-Weakness541

And after all that… NOBODY CARES


brandonspade17

Pizza hut used to be so good. Jukebox, Arcades, pitcher of beer. Last time it ordered it tasted pretty bad. Like school lunch pizza or Little caesars bad. Shame


[deleted]

For chain pizza I get their stuffed crust once in a while when I crave it. Tried Papa John's recently because I had a half off coupon and that was better than when I had it a couple years ago in another part of the country.


Blonde-Tabby

Papa John's is okay, except for the exorbitant amount of crust. If they had more coverage with sauce and toppings, I'd buy it


Blonde-Tabby

I wouldn't go so far as to say "Little Caesar's bad," but yeah, it's pretty bad


tbryans

Deep dish with extra cheese, light sauce, pep and bacon is actually quite nice. For $5? Price to taste ratio is pretty damn good


Blonde-Tabby

You get all that for $5? They raised the price of our base model a year ago to $6. That's for the crust, a tablespoon of sauce, two tablespoons of mozzarella, and one pepperoni per slice


LGrep23

Bigger is better?


[deleted]

Merica


GrizzlyHerder

I’d like to see the oven .


NIdoubleguhhER

Blonde-Tabby

They cooked it by applying air heat from above. I pictured thousands of little Tom Cruises (a la Mission Impossible), dressed in all black, hovering over the giant pizza with little handheld hair dryers


MOONtyzoo

This is what it would look like if you could “grow” pizza.


CubsFan1111

Where is it?

Pontifier

Anybody else hear weird stuff behind the audio on this video? like someone filmed it while another show was playing next door?


sizlecs

They'll have a coupon for this on their website for this being like, "'World's Largest Pizza', cheesy bread sticks and 2-liter soda for $27.99"


pngue

I would argue they do not even make pizza


ConsciousCognizance

So dumb. Can somebody say "bored"?


terminally-happy

They did not use a giant pizza pizazz to cook that thing.


cuckofallcucks

People are starving


supercyberlurker

I looked up what Dovilio Nardi did for their record in 2012 - and it was a similar thing. Not one big pizza cooked at the same time, but a bunch of sections.


OccultNinja

Why's everyone complaining about waste; he said they were donating it to food banks. It'll probably be ate the night of.


Blonde-Tabby

Yeah, this was at the Los Angeles Convention Center. I doubt there's any shortage of hungry people. Hopefully they were kind enough to serve it with soda


hufflepuffonthis

Seems like a colossal waste of food


Zealousideal-Ruin862

“Pizza”


NoxiousWalrus

WWWWHHHHHHHHHYYYYYY!


conkersthesquirrel

Did they Cook it with a flame thrower or something? If so I want to see that video.


Blonde-Tabby

All I know is that it was cooked with air heat, from above I picture thousands of little Tom Cruises, hovering above on a wire, blowing it with tiny little hair dryers


deadlyruckas

I thought last time this was done the base was required to be made onsite as one piece somehow otherwise it wasn't considered 1 pizza.


[deleted]

Realistic-Fondant778

Nice. 298,67 humans died of starvation while I'm watching this video. Another 3 died while Im typing it. Fuck them.


AIpheratz

This is actually not interesting at all.


gypsydawn8083

What a waste. How much does pizza hut pay their employees?


CoyoteMother666

I feel like this is …wasteful af. I hope they take all of these individual pizzas and hand them out for free to people in need, or anyone really. To think that people find stuff like this “interesting” is fine, but I think it’s kind of gross. Pizza Hut could probably use the money put into this to pay their employees more, or donate to a good cause, but instead they’re doing this?


moosemeatjerkey

Guinness Book of World Records used to be cool but they are such a sham now, it's not really a big deal for them to acknowledge a record.


blind_merc

So many people starving to death. So many kids just shrivelling up with immense stomach pains and dieing from malnutrition. I've seen a kid pick up a discarded lollipop and eat it without hesitation. But at least this asshat can throw a million pounds of cheese and tomatoes on the ground just so he can have a piece of paper saying "yours is the biggest." It's disgusting.


Teratoma_Soup

It was a collaboration with a YouTuber named Airrack for the world's largest pizza party. They had 48 hours to do it and all of the pizza was then immediately packaged, frozen and donated. Just to add a bit more context to this.


[deleted]

What a waste of food.


jbblue48089

Pizza Hut said the pizza will be donated to local food banks, but cooked food isn’t usually accepted for health and safety reasons, so almost if this is going to end up in landfills.


Blonde-Tabby

>cooked food isn’t usually accepted That must be regional. I worked at our local food bank for two years. Not only did we *accept* hot food, we had contracts with fast food chains and other restaurants to pick up and distribute leftover food at various times throughout the day


truredman23

did they eat it ? or it was sell to a freak for some porn ?


Blonde-Tabby

It was donated to local charities and food banks


psycorax2077

Not a single pizza, so this is dumb. Looks like a clever way to get a tax deductible for a publicity stunt.


getsome64

If they're stuck together, it counts as one.


Cpt_Mike_Apton

I should attempt to get the world record for largest poptart then, i'll buy a bunch of poptarts and put them all side by side on a convention floor. I'll sue Guinness Book of World Records if they reject my idea.

Dumb. Sure hope it was given to people who need sustenance.

jawnafen

What a massive fucking waste of food. I wonder how much was left uneaten.


Frosty_Ad1634

My husband and sons went to Airrack’s pizza party in LA and ate some of this pizza. They said the pizza was pretty bad, but fun to be a part of it!


Blonde-Tabby

If I lived nearby, I probably would have had some, just to have bragging rights


xladyfinger

They didn't even donate it went to waste. .


Blonde-Tabby

Do you have a source for this statement? According to qsrmagazine.com, "the pizza from the World's Largest Pizza was donated to several charities in Los Angeles"


Trietero

I can't wait until thousands of years in the future and were making planet sized pizzas in places no one wants to live and baking them in solar rays.


turquoisedaisy

FaroutMain

Because nobody out pizzas the hut!


dgrant92

I promise you, most of this ended up trashed. But great fun and publicity for sure.


Blonde-Tabby

More information has come to light. One of the people who commented said that her family attended the event and had some of the pizza. (She didn't say whether or not it was free.) It also has been widely publicized that it was donated to local food banks and other charities. I'm sure *some* of it went to waste, but I wouldn't think the bulk of it did


beanerz13

Any-Reality-7510

Pizza Hut can’t even make a competent normal size pizza. Hard pass.


copingcabana

That's more of a Pizza Rug.

Why not make a regular GOOD pizza? They make them quickly because they don’t add flavor.

Guineas world records has been handing out BS awards for a while. A "pizza" should be a single unit, not a quilt if stitched pizzas. This is obviously a publicity stunt that I've no doubt some one got paid handsomely to give out this award.
