New World Record

Finally it happened! After three trips to Italy, U.S. Pizza Team Member Brian Edler had the performance we always knew he could have. The former Domino's speed champion shattered the world record by forming five pizza doughs in just 37 seconds at the World Pizza Championship in March. A 33-member U.S. Pizza Team entourage witnessed the performance and crowning of the "fastest pizza maker in the world" ever. If you would like to learn more about traveling to Italy with the U.S. Pizza team next year, contact Caroline Felker at caroline@pmq.com.
