How Far Some Go for Wholesome and Delicious Pizza
We’ve already told you about the world’s largest pizza, and the world’s largest retail pizza dough delivery order. But what about the longest pizza delivery order? Just how far will some people go for wholesome and delicious pizza? Or rather, how far will they let someone else go to bring it to them?
That would be a total of 6,861miles (or 11,042 kilometers.) The distant delivery was made for a charity event that benefited the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the United Kingdom. Bernard Jordaan, now famous pizza delivery boy, took a pie from Butlers Pizza in Cape Town, South Africa to the Fedsure Stormers rugby team. At that time the team was staying at 30 Ramsey Street in Melbourne, and this is the address the pizza was delivered to.
So it was definitely the longest in terms of distance; but what about time? We’re betting it takes the longest record in that category, too. Mr. Jordaan left on November 17, 2004 and the pizza was delivered on November 19, making for a total of two days delivery time.
Vegetarian toppings adorned that traveling wholesale pizza dough, but we still have one question: was it still piping hot when it arrived?
