Pizza to go ( you may need a truck)

 PITTSBURGH - This is one pizza you'd better order ahead.

Mama Lena's Pizza House is vying for a spot in the Guinness World Records as the planet's largest commercially available pizza.

The Big One, a 3-foot-by-4-1/2-foot pie, takes about 15 minutes to assemble and another 20 to 25 minutes to bake, said Rob Carrabbia, whose wife, Wendy, owns the pizzeria in the suburban Pittsburgh town of McKees Rocks.

The $99, 150-slice pizza has been on the menu for more than a year. So far, about 10 have been sold, including for birthday parties and to a school for its basketball team.

"It's 20 pounds of dough, it's a gallon of sauce, 15 pounds of cheese and a lot of tender love and care," Carrabbia said Monday. "We cook the old-fashion way, stone and cornmeal."

The current record holder is a 4-foot diameter pizza offered by Paul Revere's Pizza in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Dubbed the Ultimate Party Pizza, it uses more than 10 pounds of dough, 48 ounces of sauce and about five pounds of cheese.
