Pizza..woohoo!
Yep, that’ll be $1,000 please.
Luxury Pie: NYC Restaurant Offers $1,000 Pizza
NEW YORK We’ve been dealing with the pocket-emptying effects of rising gas prices, new electric rates, and an increase in cab fare, but how would you feel about breaking the bank all for…a pizza?
Now you can find out thanks to Manhattan restauranteur Nino Selimaj, who has apparently brought from the heavens a real “pie in the sky” with his new $1,000 pizza.
Got a thousand bucks to spare? Why take a vacation when you can order this $1,000 pizza?
Well, dang.
No one on earth loves pizza more than I..but but but……
Countless things scream luxury and excess. Furs, jewels, cars…but pimping your palate?
Sure, we’ve all heard of some dropping as much as $2,500 for a one-pound tin of black fish eggs..otherwise known as “caviar.”
Then there’s the spice saffron which is more expensive than even gold, going for up to $2,700 per pound.
Howzabout a Egg at $100,000 ? 
O.K. It’s not edible..heh.
Easter eggs, Easter cakes and lots of Easter goodies delight, but a recent display of the Diamond Stella Egg at the La Maison du Chocolat in London is bound to thrill us all.
Diamond Studded Easter Egg at $100,000
A recent report shows that the Diamond Stella Egg is covered with 100 half-carat diamonds and is priced at $100,000.
$1,000 pizza?
Sure.
But make sure ya top it off with this sundae.
The Daily Olive site documents the $1,000 “Grand Opulence” sundae sold by New York’s Serendipity restaurant:
Made with “5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela’s coast.
The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It’s sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac.
The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.”
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Alright y’all.. if any of ya are in the NYC area, I’ll let ya take me out for lunch.
Heck, we’ll just go for pizza and ice cream. Heh.
Any takers?
Oh..and don’t forget to bring this:

Hmmm….
Without the gold leaf and caviar that sounds damn good. Perhaps they would be willing to negotiate.
I use tumeric as a saffron substitute. It works just as well…
March 15th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
I have a pizza stone and make my own, it’s more time consuming than one would think….I think I’ll stay with my own and save a cool $990+, sure would like to try it though!
BTW, you ought to try sauerkraut on ‘yer pizza, pretty dang good
March 15th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
LOL I think you just figured out the difference between the red states and the blue states. Too funny!
March 15th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
I wouldn’t like the pizza, but the sundae, yum yum. of course it takes someone with more money than brains to spend $1,000 on a pizza. Just my opinion.
March 15th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Bill Gates makes more money in the time it would take for him to sit down and eat the pizza and ice cream. But for the rest of us…its the local pizzeria and Carvel.
Sauerkraut on pizza?
March 15th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
Is that per slice or per kilo??????………..hahahhahahahhahaha
March 15th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
Pizza and Guinness ?..I’m in!
Though I’ll settle for 1.00 dollar a slice.
Looks like a snow storm coming this way!
BOOO…bring on the GREEN!
FTGF!

I read this story today, and posted about it, Great minds must think alike.
While I feel that it has a humorous side, and your post is helpful towards managing the anger I feel, since it also shows a very dark “slice” of America.

Christi -
I live in that blue state, and am “Red” on many issues, but when I “read” about this, the “Blue” part of my ideology, had me seeing “RED” and feeling “Blue”

I wonder who the first person was who squeezed the
slimy eggs out of a fish’s cloaca and thought…
…Gee, THAT looks tasty!
March 15th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
Angel has no idea how good she’s got things. NY/NJ pizza is to pizza from other areas as a solid gold bar is too a giant turd.
Those guys should be tarred and feathered for suggesting that fish by-products should go on such a magnificent food.
March 15th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
That’s as much as a horse! …which leads one unfortunately to wonder…
March 15th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
LOL! It takes all kinds - but I am happy with my $15.00 pizza, which I bet tastes just as good - in not better than any $1,000 pizza! The rich can have it!
March 15th, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Thanks y’all but I noticed not ONE offer to buy me some……..Hmmmm.. lol
March 15th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
pure decadence! i can feed my entire family for that kind of money each month and have some leftover for a couple nights out at the local chinese or mexican restaurant.
now, the gas for getting there is another matter…
March 16th, 2007 at 2:20 am
I love food, probably more than I should, but there’s no way I’ll spend $1,000.00 for pizza!
March 16th, 2007 at 5:09 am
I love a good pizza, too, but $1000 is a bit out of line.
I’ll stick with the greasy, 39 NIS, takeout pies available here… For less then 10 bucks, they feel the whole family!
March 16th, 2007 at 7:32 am
Heck Angel
You’re not really rich and ostentacious until you’ve enjoy a double saffron Pizza with a bottle of Rothchilds something or other.
For myself - I prefer sausage made with fennel on that piece of toasted dough.
March 16th, 2007 at 8:39 am
Ironic, Isn’t It?…
While liberals scream from the rooftops that we need to bring our “boys and girls” home from Iraq because of the violence and death that they are experiencing……

John Edwards on Global Warming…
As a follow-up to my article on John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry jumping on the global warming money train, it seems John Edwards has also joined in. “John Edwards: Global Warming to ‘Make World War Look Like Heaven’”, video…
March 16th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
From the article about the outrageously-priced pizza:
Forget traditional cheese and pizza sauce, the record-priced pie will be topped with creme fraiche, chives, eight ounces of four different kinds of Petrossian caviar, four ounces of thinly sliced Maine lobster tail, salmon roe, and a little bit of spice with wasabi.
And unlike your typical pizza, this one won’t be cooked, after all, that would spoil the fish.
EWWWWWWW!!!
March 16th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
I can’t help but wonder how that edible gold on the sundae affects your body. I’d say that I need 23k gold in my intestines the way I need a bowling ball dropped on my head, which is to say, not at all. Ok, sue me. I’ve been listening to Superchic[k] too much…
March 18th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
I heard about this. Sheesh!
I’ll just make due with the $15 type!
