Judge of the Guinness World Records Lorenzo Veltri checks the length of a pizza at the Expo 2015 world’s fair in Rho, near Milan, yesterday. More than 60 of Italy’s best pizza-makers worked through the night to create a 1.59545-kilometre-long pizza at Milan’s world fair. Their toil was rewarded with a proclamation by Guinness World Records judge that it was the world’s longest pizza. Expo organisers said the record-setting pie, made with 1.5 tons of mozzarella and two tons of tomato sauce, weighed some five tons in all.
