The biggest pizza in town

This is a pizza: The St Marys eatery that says its pizza may be largest in Australia

CASSIDY PEARCE

Certified Pizza Bar in St Marys has launched what might just be Australia’s biggest round pizza.

The pizza, which has a 30-inch diameter, has always been a dream for Mark Jajo, who came up with the idea with his brother years ago.

“We have always said that we wanted to make a big pizza for the boys who’ll come and eat, and then a few months ago I called someone who works with metal to get a custom-made pan – I got two just in case,” he said.

After ordering the pan, which was the biggest size that could fit in his 32-inch conveyor oven, Jajo discovered he might just be onto something.

“I looked into it and I don’t think anyone in Sydney has a 30-inch round pizza, they have square pizzas,” he said.

“I just thought, ‘Since when is pizza square!’, and it made me want to make one myself, and just see what happens with it.”

Stating that the pizza generally feeds eight to 10 people – six if you have a big appetite – Jajo notes that it isn’t for the faint of heart.

“I once had a slice, and I couldn’t even finish it,” he said.

Since launching the pizza on social media just a few weeks ago at $95 for four flavours and a bottle of drink, Jajo said the response has been incred ible, with groups of friends and families alike
