Well if you had pizza with us, you might want to know this if you're hungry for knowledge.

What is the world's longest pizza? On October 11 1987 Lorenzo Amato and Louis Piancone built a pizza that measured 140 feet across making it a 140 foot long pizza. The pizza was then cut into 94,248 slices and at an average one foot/slice that pizza could stretch 94,248 feet or 17.85 miles. The pizza worlds longest pizza covered 10,000 square feet, weighed 44,457 pounds and was eaten by 30,000 people.

Some of the ingredients:
18,174 pounds of flour.
1,103 pounds of water.
6,445 pounds of sauce.
9,375 pounds of cheese.
2,387 pounds of pepperoni.


But since you had a Subway, I'll add these important facts:

What is the world's longest subway? Easy, the New York subway system is, by far, the world's longest subway. The New York subway system now has 714 miles of track with the longest subway line, the ‘A’ Eighth Avenue Express, taking up over 32 miles.

For some brief history: The New York subway opened as the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) subway in 1904.

For comparison: The London Underground comes in a distant second with just over 250 miles of track.

London subway = weak!
