A picture of the pizza is at http://tg24.sky.it/tg24/cronaca/photogallery/2016/05/18/napoli-pizza-record-guinness.html. When I worked in Rome a number of years ago, I would occasionally buy some pizza from a fast-food pizza outlet. The pizzas were often over a square metre, you bought a piece which was priced by the kilogram.

According to http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2016/05/19/italian-chefs-set-new-guinness-world-record-with-pizza-over-mile-long/?intcmp=hphz14 a new Guiness Book world record was set in Napoli IT when a pizza "measuring 1853.88 m (6082 ft)" was made. I've eaten more than one pizza in Napoli, but never one that large. No width was given in the article or the embedded YouTube video. The article does list the ingredients, though, with the flour, tomato sauce, and cheese amounts given in pounds and the olive oil in liters. The figures given in pounds obviously were converted from figures given in kilograms or metric tons and that were more "round". Jim -- James R.
