To raise charity, this restauranteur has created a $4000 pizza to help the Fred Hollows Foundation. I wonder if they'll honor a competitors 2-for-1 coupon?

A CHEF has created what could be the world's most expensive pizza to raise funds for the Fred Hollows Foundation.
The pizza is sprinkled with gold and topped with champagne-soaked caviar and lobster marinated in the finest cognac.
Creator Domenico Crolla said it was worth more than $3700.

The 30.5-cm pizza features an organic base spread with a sunblush tomato sauce. Other toppings include Scottish smoked salmon and medallions of venison.
The creation is finished off with edible 24-carat gold shavings.
It has been named the Pizza Royale 007 after the expensive tastes of suave agent James Bond, currently being played by actor Daniel Craig.
"If any pizza was made to suit 007, this is it," said Mr Crolla.
"Everyone loves a pizza as a treat, and this should be a real luxury experience."
The pizza was created to raise funds for the Fred Hollows Foundation, which works to prevent curable blindness in developing countries.
Organised by the British Pizza, Pasta & Italian Food Association, it is hoped an auction on internet website eBay will make at least $4970, smashing the record for the world's most expensive pizza. The title is held by a white truffle, mushroom and fontina cheese pizza served to customers of Gordon Ramsay's Maze restaurant in London.
Bidders have until November 19 to lodge their interest on eBay.
Mr Crolla will create the luxury pizza at the winner's home or prepare it for them at one of his restaurants.
