A team of 43 Italian pizza chefs broke the Guinness World Record for most pies cooked within 12 hours at the Festa della Pizza in Martina Franca, Italy, on Sunday. The team of pizza makers from across Puglia made 5,836 pizzas in total, according to The Local Italy. That's about nine pizzas per minute.
The previous record of 5,070 pizzas was set in Chiasso, Switzerland, by the Naples Academy of Pizza last year. The Pugliese team beat the record in 10 hours and 23 minutes, then went on to make an additional 766 pies before time was up. The team used five ovens to churn out their pies at lightning speed. And the pizzas weren't all just plain cheese. Chefs whipped out gluten-free and dairy-free pies, and pizza topped with capocollo and buffalo mozzarella.
