The World's Most Expensive Pizzas: Pisa Gold Rankings

From gold-leafed pies to truffle-loaded creations, the world's most expensive pizzas represent the outer edge of pizza as luxury. Pisa Gold ranks the most extravagant pizza creations ever conceived.

One. The Louis XIII Pizza, Salerno ($12,000)
Created by chef Renato Viola, this pizza is made tableside over 72 hours using three types of caviar, bufala mozzarella, lobster, and red prawns. The price includes two sommeliers and a dedicated chef for the experience.

Two. The C6 Pizza, Industry Kitchen, NYC
Gold leaf, six types of caviar, foie gras, and a champagne cream sauce. This pizza was created explicitly as a luxury statement and generated significant media attention when launched.

Three. The Nino's Bellissima, New York
Topped with smoked salmon, black caviar, and wasabi cream, this pizza at Nino's 46 in Manhattan commanded a price that made international headlines when it appeared.

Four. Maze Restaurant, Gordon Ramsay London
A truffle-loaded pizza with white truffle oil, truffle shavings, and premium prosciutto di Parma. The precision of Gordon Ramsay's restaurant operation ensured consistent execution at high prices.

Five. The Kobe Beef Pizza
Several premium pizzerias worldwide have created limited-release Kobe beef pizza using genuine Kobe A5 wagyu from Japan. The marbling level of true Kobe beef is incompatible with most pizza toppings but creates extraordinary richness when used correctly.

Six. Seasonal Foie Gras Pizza
During foie gras season in Europe, several premium restaurants create temporary foie gras pizza specials. The richness of seared foie gras on a pizza creates a uniquely indulgent eating experience.
