Who doesn’t love pizza? From classic Margheritas to creative toppings that push the boundaries of our taste buds, pizza is universally adored.
But some pizzas take extravagance to the next level—topped with luxurious ingredients and accompanied by equally jaw-dropping price tags.
Below are ten of the most expensive pizzas in the world, starting with the priciest. Buckle up and prepare to drool (and possibly gasp)!
1. Louis XIII Pizza – $12,000
Where: Salerno, Italy
Why So Pricey? Crafted by Chef Renato Viola, this exclusive pizza takes gourmet to a whole new level. Topped with three types of caviar, fresh lobster, and rare sea salt from Australia’s Murray River, it’s paired with vintage Champagne and cognac.
Served in your home (yes, a personal pizza-making experience in your dining room!), the cost includes the chef’s private service and the finest tableware.
2. Pizza for Lovers – $8,180
Where: Favitta’s Family Pizzeria, Henrietta, New York
Why So Pricey? This heart-shaped pizza comes with a diamond ring and a bottle of Dom Pérignon, making it a wedding proposal–worthy splurge.
The gimmick here is less about fancy ingredients and more about the built-in engagement package—part pizza feast, part romantic gesture (assuming your beloved really, really loves pizza).
3. Pizza Royale 007 – $4,200
Where: Created by Chef Domenico Crolla, Glasgow, Scotland
Why So Pricey? As its James Bond–inspired name suggests, the Pizza Royale 007 is all about top-tier opulence. Toppings include Scottish smoked salmon, caviar soaked in Champagne, lobster marinated in cognac, and edible 24k gold flakes.
No word on whether it arrives in an Aston Martin, but at this price, it might as well.
4. White Truffle & Gold Pizza – $2,400
Where: Margo’s Pizzeria, Malta
Why So Pricey? Margo’s Pizzeria is famous for drizzling this pie with real white truffle and generously layering edible gold leaf on top—making it one of the most expensive pizzas in the world.
Offered strictly when white truffles are in season, this pizza is a glittery, over-the-top celebration of one of the world’s most prized fungi.
5. 24K Pizza – $2,000
Where: Industry Kitchen, New York City
Why So Pricey? Served with actual 24k gold leaves (yes, you read that right), the 24K Pizza also features white Stilton cheese (one of the priciest cheeses available), foie gras, caviar, and truffles.
It’s basically a gold rush on a pizza crust—perfect for those who want to say, “I’ve literally eaten gold.”
6. Nino Bellissima Pizza – $1,000
Where: Nino’s Bellissima Pizza, New York City
Why So Pricey? This pizza is topped with two of the swankiest seafood delicacies: six varieties of caviar and fresh lobster.
The crust is thin, leaving plenty of room for those luxurious toppings to shine. The name “Bellissima” is apt—it’s beautiful to behold, and at a cool thousand bucks, it had better be.
7. The C6 Pizza – $850
Where: Steveston Pizza Co., Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Why So Pricey? For seafood lovers, the C6 is a dream: loaded with tiger prawns, lobster ratatouille, smoked steelhead, Russian Osetra caviar, and Italian truffles.
Chef Nader Hatami created it for those who want to indulge in a seafood extravaganza on a crust. It’s not the most expensive pizza on this list, but it’s definitely more expensive than your average pepperoni special.
8. The Maze White Truffle Pizza – $250
Where: Maze by Gordon Ramsay, London
Why So Pricey? Anything Gordon Ramsay touches tends to turn to culinary gold. This particular pie gets its punch from premium cheese, white truffle, and a touch of Ramsay flair.
While $250 is steep for a single pizza, you’re also paying for the upscale dining experience and bragging rights that come with eating at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.
9. Triple Mille-Feuille Pizza – $140
Where: Domino’s (Japan)
Why So Pricey? Yes, Domino’s in Japan once offered a “Triple Mille-Feuille” pizza, featuring layer upon layer of ultra-thin crust, stuffed with gooey cheese between each layer.
Then they top it with premium ingredients like bacon, peppers, and sometimes even more exotic combos.
It’s not dotted with gold or caviar, but it’s a novelty item that commands a higher-than-usual price for a chain pizza.
10. Kobe Beef Pizza – $66+
Where: Various upscale pizzerias in Japan
Why So Pricey? While $66 might feel like pocket change compared to the others on this list, it’s still a lot for a single pie—especially one that’s not drenched in truffles or topped with edible diamonds!
The use of Kobe beef (one of the most expensive and well-regarded cuts of beef in the world) is what drives up the cost. Expect a supremely rich, melt-in-your-mouth topping that elevates your typical pepperoni-and-cheese combo to luxurious heights.
Bon appétit (and happy saving if you plan to try one of these)!
