You Are What You Eat
Nino Selimaj, who runs six pizza restaurants in the Big Apple, on Wednesday unveiled the Luxury Pizza, a 12-inch, thin crust topped with caviar, lobster, creme fraiche and chives.
Cut into eight, it works out at $125 a slice.
"I know this won't be for everyone but there are people in New York who can afford it and once tried, they'll be back for more. It is delicious," said Selimaj, who moved to New York from Albania about 29 years ago.
"Sure, some people will say it is just a publicity stunt, but I have researched this for over a year and think there is a demand. I have already sold one," he told Reuters.
Selimaj said Nino's Bellissima in Manhattan, the only one of his restaurants to offer the dish, needs 24 hours notice for the gourmet dish
because it orders the caviar in advance.
"But where better to experiment with pizza than in New York where people love their pizza?" he asked. 
If diners are still hungry after the Luxury Pizza, they can always head over to nearby restaurant Serendipity, which sells a $1,000 ice-cream sundae called Golden Opulence that is covered in 23-karat edible gold leaf.
The pizza will be served raw because cooking it would ruin the caviar.

Why do people buy into this crap?
I feel the same way when I see blips of the Housewives of Orange County. How can some people justify ridiculous luxury?...when true luxurious feelings come from helping one another and being a part of the community…
Anyway, OMFG $1000 pizza??? I can buy my own caviar and slop it on a pizza crust! You know, if only someone could rally all the homeless people together long enough to storm that pizza joint, that would be funny. Damn, if only people could organize sufficiently enough to storm a lot of things we could get some things changed around here! Too bad there aren't enough to do it.....
