A little bit of each on your cheese pizza

It is difficult to imagine what a cheese pizza so populated with that tremendous amount but the key was to include the maximum possible number and, in addition, in a coherent. I mean, it wouldn't make any sense to create this dish with its ingredient list stacked or structured to be nearly impossible to eat. It also had no capacity in the mass of 30 centimeters to integrate each and every one of those 254 types. Therefore, he chose to include only a few few grams of each of the varieties that he first thought and chose wisely.

This last aspect was also important so that each bite could taste the varieties that best match each other. Especially since mixing so many types without a logic of flavor and texture would have made the dish inedible. That was not the idea. He had to play well both with achieving the record and offering a attractive cheese pizza to the palate. For less than € 50, some lucky customers who stopped by their Deliss store could eat it afterwards. This is how he related it in the following video that he shot and posted on his channel FlorianOnAirsu.
