Australia's First Gold-Leaf Pizza Is Here, Ready to Eat Up Disposable Incomes
Because gourmet pizza wasn't expensive enough already.
When it comes to versatile foods that the large majority loves and is highly unlikely to get sick of, pizza really is worth its weight in gold. At Sydney's Pizza Design Co, they're taking that idea literally. That's right, the Parramatta dough-slingers are topping their latest creation in actual, edible, 23-carat gold.
In an Australian first, that slice of 'za you're always hankering for just got a whole lot more valuable. Going on sale via Menulog from October 13, the limited-time-only pizza in question is called the Golden Margherita, of course. And, given that it's a classic margherita pizza topped with gold leaf, it really is just what it sounds like.
Whoever knew that your favourite meal could be so shiny and laughably decadent? Or, if you get in early, shiny, laughably decadent and free? Not only does the Golden Margherita apparently reflect the evolving tastes of the area, but it's all yours for zilch if you're one of the first 100 preorders made from midday on the day that they're launched.
Normally, they'll be $50 a pop (hey, gold doesn't come cheap), and will come with a certificate of authenticity — yeah, that's piece of paper saying that you ate gold. Straight to the pool room.
Pizza Design Co's Golden Margherita is available from October 13, and can be ordered via Menulog.
