A New York City restaurant is taking a stab at creating the most decadent¹ pizza on the market with a pie topped in gold flakes², foie gras and even truffles.

 

纽约的一家餐馆正在尝试制作市面上最“腐败”的披萨，这种披萨表面覆盖了黄金薄片、鹅肝和松露。
 

 

The 24K pizza is available at Industry Kitchen, an eatery in New York City's South Street Seaport³, for a whopping $2,000 and, as the name would suggest, is noted⁴ for being covered in flakes of 24-karat gold.

 

All held together with imported white stilton cheese, the flakes are interspersed⁵ on the pie with dollops of Ossetra caviar from the Caspian Sea as well as truffles and Fois Gras from France.

 

Sliced into eight pieces, the pizza works out to $250 per slice, meaning it costs roughly $50 per bite.

 

Talking to Town & Country, Industry Kitchen Executive Chef Braulio Bunay said he was inspired to create the pizza by the city's Financial District, which he described as 'the epitome⁶ of decadence⁷'.

 

'The pizza is extremely rich - if you're in the mood for a lavish⁸ meal, this is the pizza for you,' he said.

 

Many are less than impressed by the cheesy indulgence, with the New York Daily News speaking to one dietitian⁹ who blasted the lack of nutritional¹⁰ value in the pizza's most expensive ingredient: the Ecuador-imported gold flakes.

 

'It doesn't have carbs, fat or protein so it won't provide calories, unlike sprinkles which have sugar. It's mostly for decoration. It's tasteless,' said registered dietician Alix Turoff.
