Taking orders on the shores of "Ottavia"
 
This Sunday in Naples, Italy, a team led by Alessandro Marinacci will attempt to break the record for the World's Largest Pizza. 
Current record for largest pizza (named Ottavia) was gluten free and had a total surface area of 1,261.65 m² (13,580.28 ft²) and was prepared by Dovilio Nardi, Andrea Mannocchi, Marco Nardi, Matteo Nardi and Matteo Giannotte from NIPfood at Fiera Roma, in Rome, Italy, on 13 December 2012



The oven
"We have custom-designed five motorized wood-burning stoves on wheels," says Alessandro Marinacci. "A team will drive the oven and the pizza will pass through the two mouths of the oven." The pizza gets baked as the cars drive across the pizza.
