A 70 cm pizza – that’s 2ft 4 inches in ‘old money’ - is set to tickle taste buds at an Italian restaurant.
The mammoth pizza has been created by Maria and Peppe who run Vesuvio in Eastgate Mews, Whittlesey.

“We’ve spent ages perfecting it and we’re ready for the launch,” said Maria.
They’ve even had special tables made for their restaurant to accommodate the 'Vesuvio 70’ “This pizza has been in the works for quite some time now and we are so excited to finally be able to share it with all of you,” said Maria.
She said her Italian husband Peppe and their team had been working to make the 70cm “just perfect”.
It comes with a choice of four toppings of a customer’s choice and with a complimentary drink.
