L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, the historic Neapolitan pizzeria founded in 1870, has secured a spot in the Guinness World Records for pretty pizzas all in a row.
Specifically, the restaurant’s location in Dubai prepared and lined up a staggering 2,059 pizzas, setting a world record for the longest line of pizzas. The event took place on November 21, in part to celebrate Antica Pizzeria da Michele’s sustainable pizzas, made with saltwater instead of regular water.
A striking photo of the event featured four long rows of tables with pizzas meticulously placed one after another, suggesting careful organization and precision. Representatives from Guinness World Records were present to officially certify the achievement.
Antica Pizzeria da Michele, which has more than 60 locations worldwide, is regarded as a symbol of the Neapolitan culinary tradition. Founded in the heart of Naples in 1870, it has become renowned for its pizza as well as its iconic role in popular culture. Julia Roberts savored a slice from the restaurant in the film Eat, Pray, Love. “I’m having a relationship with this pizza,” Roberts’ character famously said.
In Italy, L’ Antica Pizzeria da Michele is a tiny shop that only sells two pizzas: the Marinara and the Margherita. The brand has four locations in the United States: New York City and Hollywood, Santa Barbara and Long Beach (Belmont Shore), California,
